| WHAT IS A CV...? |
| A Curriculum Vitae or C.V. is a formal description of your past experiences, education, interests etc. A successful CV is one that demonstrates your skills and credentials to a prospective employer. They will be looking for a person to solve their problems and meet the requirements of that specific job. Your CV must inform them that you can do this. This section includes definitions, the point of a CV and information and advice on what you should/should not include in your CV.

| COVER LETTER ADVICE AND FORMAT |
| A cover letter can be just as important as the CV because it is not just an introduction to your CV, but it is a form of nonverbal communication allowing the employer to see a more personal side of you, and more importantly, why you think you are the right person for the position which you are applying for. Always check if they require a handwritten covering letter with your application, and try for a good quality paper.
