Week 3 - CV Upgrade & Cover-Letter Studio
Bring: Laptop + charger and your current CV or cover letter(draft is fine)
What you’ll learn
- Targeted CV strategy: align to one role or sector; remove filler; prioritise evidence.
- STAR to impact: translate duties into outcomes and metrics that read credibly.
- Bullet architecture: action verb → context → result (numbers first).
- Cover-letter structure: 4-paragraph proof (hook, fit, evidence, close) that isn’t waffle.
- ATS basics: file naming, formatting that survives parsing, keyword mirrors (without keyword-stuffing).
Why it matters
Hiring teams scan in 8–30 seconds. This session turns a generic CV into a role-ready document and gives you a cover-letter template you can adapt in 15 minutes flat.
You’ll leave with
- A role-aligned CV (headline, skills block, 2–3 quantified experiences).
- A personal impact library (5 tips you can reuse across CV/LinkedIn/letters).
- A cover-letter template with your first draft started.
- Coach notes: Priority upgrades action plan.
Who this is for
- Applicants getting polite rejections or no responses.
- Students with strong experience but weak framing.
- International students needing UK-norm CV/letter cues.
