What you write in your Employability Skills Record should prove extremely valuable when you apply for industrial/professional placements, summer internships, further study or graduate jobs, as the topics covered reflect those you are likely to be asked about in many application processes.
Within the BIOL10000 Blackboard site you will find a resource entitled ‘Developing your Employability Skills’. This resource contains useful information about:
- Writing a good CV (including template and example CVs)
- Writing a personal statement for your CV
- Interview guidance
- Writing a covering letter
- Choosing a referee
One of your tutorial plenary sessions in semester 2 will be delivered by the Careers Service.
