Finding it hard to apply for internships, work experience, part-time jobs or unis in a way that shows your skills and strengths, and what makes you *you*?
Worried you don’t have enough to put on your CV? (Hint: you’ve got way more than you think!😉)
It can be tough to know where to start — especially when you’re applying for something that means a lot to you (or to people around you). This workshop’s for you to map how everything you’ve done so far helps write your CV story, and get you feeling confident about what you have to offer.
During the workshop, we’ll hear stories and advice from three speakers from the world-leading medical tech company Stryker. We hope you’ll feel inspired by their stories and ready to write a kick-ass CV!
Our crew of speakers and coaches will then help you work on your CV, with tips on formatting, what to highlight, and how to tell your story. We’ll make progress together, in a stress-free way.
During the workshop, you’ll get to:
+ Hear directly from women leaders about their inspiring career paths and the challenges they’ve faced along the way
