APPLYING FOR A JOB

   

CV, Covering Letters and Interviews

“The purpose of the covering letter is to get the employer to read your curriculum vitae (CV), the purpose of your CV is to get an interview, and the purpose of an interview is to get a job offer.” Faust and Faust, 2006.

This section contains information on how to apply for a job and manage the interview process. The links below provide guidelines on how to write a good CV and covering letter, and offer guidance on interview preparation and technique.

Players are reminded that these resources do not replace the regular one-to-one support that Personal Development Coaches provide in this area. So, have a go at writing your CV and a covering letter, practise answering interview questions, and then contact your Personal Development Coach for feedback, additional support and guidance.
