Getting A Job

Getting A Job begins by helping you to identify your own strengths and weaknesses and to match these to jobs that might suit you. Once you have a clear idea of what sort of job you are looking for, the course explores how to apply for a job – you’ll find lots of tips to help you read between the lines of a job advert and write an impressive CV and covering letter. Finally, the course guides you through the interview process, from making a great first impression to answering tricky questions.
