GETTING NOTICED
Once you have decided on the job of your dreams, the next step is getting noticed by
potential employers and making a good first impression. One way to do this is with an
exceptional CV and cover letter.
CV’s and cover letters are not on too many bestseller lists. They are normally pretty dry, so
creating one that helps you to stand out from the crowd is no easy task. You have to make
sure that the spelling is perfect, the formatting is consistent and that your first statements
grab the reader’s attention. However, isn’t the competition doing the same? How can you
make your CV and cover letter stand out?
This course will help you to:
 Create a great CV
 Create a great cover letter
GETTING HIRED

for whom they would like to work or it is one of their first interviews.
