Make it happen

The Careers Service website offers great advice on making it happen, including: 

• CVs & Applications
• Interviews and assessment centres
• Planning your approach
• Guidelines on the use of Generative AI in the application process

Additionally, go to the School of Engineering Careers Presentations Media Hopper Channel and check out the resources there on:

• Writing effective CVS & covering letters
• Psychometric Tests
• Preparing for interviews
• Assessment centres

CV Feedback

Once you have a CV drafted following the advice in the resources above, use CV360- to get some initial feedback and make any changes you feel are appropriate (you do not have to agree with all it recommends – it isn’t perfect!)  That done, take your CV (or covering letter) along to:

• Careers Service drop-in (weekdays); location/times varies between King’s, Central and online.
