CV Writing and Interview Skills Training – The Keys to your Future

Job change and career transition is almost inevitable result of today’s ever-changing organisational structures and relentless business dynamism. It can, of course, also be initiated by personal factors such as developing new aspirations or pre-determined career termination.

A career change can often take a very considerable amount of time and work and can involve much frustration and disappointment along the way. It can often feel like the job search is a full-time job in itself. It is therefore absolutely essential to make you and your job applications stand out from competitors from the very start of your application process.

For those facing the prospect of a job change this half-day training course on CV Writing and Interview Skills from Civil Service College, which is delivered in conjunction with London executive search consultants and career transition consultants Marylebone Executive Search, addresses the two acknowledged essential skills in submitting a successful job application: The submission of an attractive, striking and relevant CV and covering letter (or proforma) that stands out from other applicants, and a crisp, focussed, confident and utterly convincing performance at interview.

CV Writing & Interview Skills is a brand-new course to feature in our Professional Development Skills series. At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each participant’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
