Building & Optimizing Your CV for the Modern Job Market

Your CV is more than a record of your education and experience—it is a tool for positioning yourself in the job market. In this practical session, we’ll show you how to approach your CV with the perspective of a recruiter, communicate your value more effectively, and present your background in a way that aligns with the opportunities you are pursuing. Whether you’re creating your first CV, updating an existing one, or trying to improve your chances of getting shortlisted, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what makes a CV effective, what employers look for, and how to make your experience work harder for you.
