What style of CV or resume is relevant for the UK or EU?

CV (curriculum vitae) or resume styles vary between countries in the EU and you need to do careful research to find outthe layout and content required. You will need to become familiar with UK graduate application processes and learn how to make very high quality job applications that market your skills, knowledge and experience effectively. Visit the Career Development Unit in Room 2D11 on the Frenchay Campus or look at the careers website for information about where jobs are advertised and how to make good UK-style applications, including CVs.

To research different countries visit the Work and Study Overseas section of the Career Development Unit's (CDU) website.

For advice from the CDU on UK style CVs visit the Applying for Jobs section of the CDU website.

You can have your CV checked by visiting the UWE Career Development Unit, 2D11, Frenchay Campus or by using the online enquiry service on the CDU website
