CV
Your CV is a document that details:
- your work experience
- your education
- any other skills that make you attractive to employers
Having an up to date CV is essential as for many jobs. It will provide the basis of your application.
The quality of your CV could mean the difference between being asked for an interview or not. For this reason, it is in your best interest to make the most of the help that is provided.
Connexions is a great service that will help you write and update your CV.
