CVs and Cover Letters

We are often asked for advice on how to put together a good CV, and how to write an effective cover letter. Getting the two things right can be critical factors in getting that vital interview and securing a job.

In response, a group of careers advisers at Stuart House has written CVs and Cover Letters, and CVs and Cover Letters for PhDs and Postdocs. These books aim to help meet the needs of Cambridge students and graduates as you write your own CVs, from first steps to final polish, and to take some of the pain out of the process.

Both books are FREE to Cambridge students and graduates. Pick your copy up from the Careers Service.
