CV / LinkedIn Profile Clinic

A team of PhD students, who are fully trained CV Reviewers, offer a weekly clinic to review your CV, cover letter or LinkedIn profile. This is a 15 minute meeting with a CV Reviewer who will review one document and give you feedback.

This service is ideal if you want a quick general review of the layout and content of one of these documents and tips on how to target your CV for specific roles.

Usage is restricted to once a month during busy periods.

These clinics are held in-person in the Careers Service and virtual via MSTeams (current students) or Zoom (recent graduates). Check the location when booking your place. Download the MS Teams desktop app from https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads - this is necessary to review your digital CV, Cover Letter or LinkedIn Profile.
