The Course will offer: (i) advice on preparation of their cv, (ii) examples and advice on the writing of motivation letters and, (iii) practice and advice on interview techniques. Students who had worked on and possess a personal development plan will be given extra coaching on hte best way to capitalise on this work at the job interview.
