CV - This is a summary of your professional history, qualifications and experiences, so unless you’re really good, keep your Dota rank out of it. - Group information correctly, and use appropriate headings and subheadings. - Keep it clear and concise so that employers can skim read it – use bullet points instead of lengthy paragraphs. Cover Letter - This is a targeted ONE page formal letter, that highlights why you would be the best for the job. - Make sure you highlight how you meet any criteria, and address it to a specific person and organisation – Don’t make it too generic. - Keep it tidy, and use the same font style as your CV, and double check your spelling, grammar and punctuation. Think you’re doing these right, but still missing out on the jobs? Here at the WSU we’re opening two new clinics, one with Student Job Search, and one with Career Development services. You can make an appointment on our website, and come in to meet with the experts. These guys will check over your CVs and cover letters, prep you for interviews, and help you in the job hunt. And after the way you hit town for Re-O last week, I know you need it.
