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 tutorial unit on Blackboard (BIOL10000), you will find a folder entitled ‘Developing your Employability Skills’. This folder contains lots of 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 Year 1 tutorials (semester 2) will be based on comparing different CVs.
