A good CV or resume is your door opener to get the job you want. As your written application is the first thing that a potential employer will see, it is vital that you manage to grab the recruiter's attention. It requires time, effort and skills to create a text and design that makes you stand out from the crowd. However, presenting your strengths is a skill you can master easily with this course, no matter whether you are a student, seeking your first job, or already have professional experience. Writing successful job applications varies in every country. In order to find jobs in the European labour market or outside you need to be aware of the particular standards and requirements. In this course you will not only get to know different types of CVs and resumes, but also get the opportunity to prepare your personal document ready to use. With years of experience, Ms Nuzhnenko will guide you through the process and give feedback on your draft. She will give examples of strong and weak CVs and explain typical mistakes, buzzwords and key words. According to her motto “Sharing is caring”, she will share her tips from years of experience to greatly increase the chances for your application to be forwarded to the interview stage.
