Have you shown your CV to others who could give you advice and feedback? Often, when you are writing and editing a document, you've been staring it for so long that it's hard to see if there are any mistakes. You may want to show your CV to someone else whose opinion you trust to get an outside perspective on any of the following:
- Is the spelling and grammar correct?
- Does the document have visual impact - would it grab their attention?
- Does the content read well, and show your strengths?
- How would they describe you? Are there any qualities they think you have missed?

Don't try to do all this on your own – get some help or feedback

Sit Down with a Guidance Specialist
Need some advice on what to do next? You might be feeling stuck and unsure of whether what you’re doing is the right thing. Perhaps the people around you all have different opinions on what you should be doing making it difficult for you to see straight. Whatever your situation, it helps if you try not to do everything on your own. It could be of help for you to come to a neutral environment, away from all the distractions of your day-to-day life, where you can have a constructive chat about your situation and your thoughts.
Booking a Quick Query session with one of our Guidance Specialists gives you 20 minutes to talk about your thoughts and concerns relating to work and/or further study.
What do other people talk to us about?
Some people are really specific in their needs, and come in to talk about interview techniques, job hunting strategies, their CV etc. Others need the time to bounce their thoughts about planning what to do next, whether to and how to change their course or how to take their first steps when leaving their studies.

20 minutes doesn’t sound like a lot of time but if you do as much preparation as you can then you can get a lot out of a session.
Don’t worry, if you run out of time you can always come in again, and as often as you like.3
Use our E-Guidance
You can use e-guidance to send an email enquiry that will be answered by a member of the Creative Careers team. For example, maybe you want to ask about:
- How to explore your options
- Further study and training
- Identifying vacancies
- Applying for jobs
- Interviews
- Working abroad
- Part time work while studying
- Work experience and internships
- Working for International Students
- Working for yourself - copyright, pricing your work, etc

Note:
You won’t be able to get CV advice through e-guidance but what you can do is book a CV surgery or an appointment with one of the Guidance Specialists.4
