Great guide to cv
It’s a shame there has not been any new episodes for a while. But the points made still apply five years after being broadcasted. A must listen before creating your cv
Lots of ideas that I hadn't thought of before
I've only listened to a couple of podcasts so far but I already have lots of new ideas on how to promote myself and already feel confident in applying for jobs. Now, I just have to get going and implement them 😬.
Thank you for this useful information!
