In this module: Employers need evidence, not only a list of qualities. Skills can come from class assignments, community work, clubs, family responsibilities and personal projects. Describe what you did, how you did it and what changed.
minIn this module: A CV should make contact details, profile, education, experience and relevant skills easy to find. Put the most relevant information where it can be seen quickly. Never invent roles or qualifications.
minIn this module: A targeted application connects an employer's requirements to your evidence. Read the job description carefully and note essential criteria, responsibilities and instructions. Use relevant terms naturally, without unsupported claims.
minIn this module: A cover letter connects your motivation to the role and gives strong examples. An application email should state the role, include requested attachments and make the next step clear.
minIn this module: Use official employer websites, recognised job boards and trusted referrals. Check the role, location, deadline and application process. Be cautious when someone requests payment or sensitive information before a legitimate process is established.
minIn this module: Interview answers should respond to the question and include evidence. STAR organises an example into Situation, Task, Action and Result. Research the employer, prepare questions and practise speaking naturally.
minIn this module: Professional behaviour includes keeping commitments, communicating delays early, listening, asking clear questions and respecting colleagues. Feedback can help improve work.
minIn this module: A job search is easier with a weekly routine. Track the role, employer, date, documents sent and follow-up action. Maintain a master CV and save tailored copies with clear filenames.
