This session aims to give you: – a clearer understanding of the recruitment process in sectors beyond academia and the implications for our applications – more confidence and effectiveness in tailoring a CV and Cover Letter for specific jobs – practice in giving and receiving constructive feedback from peers and the workshop facilitator
