About the webinar

You know you need a great CV to start your job search, but as a graduate student, how do you stand out?

Should you put education before work experience? Do recruiters want to see specific courses? What about that server job you did to pay your way through school?


Join us to discuss the in’s and out’s of a development CV, particularly for those currently enrolled or about to graduate from school.

By attending this event, you will learn: 
  • The basics of a global development CV, including recommended length and format
  • How to highlight your most relevant skills and experience
  • Tips for incorporating dev-specific keywords
  • How recruiters assess CVs - and what they're really looking for
We'll also leave plenty of time to answer your questions at the end of the presentation. We invite you to share them during the event or in advance by submitting to Kate at [email protected].
Can't join us live? Register anyway. We'll send you a recording after the event!

And both of these, if one would tell the truth, were foreordained unto the holy place, where greatest Peter’s follower hath his seat. While on this quest, for which thou giv’st him praise, he heard the things which of his victory the causes were, and of the Papal Robe. The Chosen Vessel went there afterward, to bring thence confirmation in the faith, through which one enters on salvation’s path. But why should I go there, or who concedes it? I ’m not Aeneas, nor yet Paul am I; me worthy of this, nor I nor others deem. If, therefore, I consent to come, I fear lest foolish be my coming; thou art wise, and canst much better judge than I can talk.”
