Employability Skills Development in Tutorials
Two of your tutorials in Year 2 will focus on the following:
- CV writing
- Interview skills
Your Academic Tutor will inform you about when these tutorials will be scheduled. You will be required to prepare in advance for these tutorials. For the CV writing tutorial, you must submit a copy of your CV to your Advisor in advance of the tutorial. Further information about these tutorials is available in the ‘Employability Tutorial Exercises’ on Blackboard.
Within the tutorial unit on Blackboard (BIOL20000), (BIOL30000), you will also 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
You will need to refer to this material when you are writing your CV and preparing for the Interview Skills tutorial.
