Cover letter Development
The most essential part of a job application is the cover letter and it is the part people often find the hardest. Here you will received guidance on what to write and how to structure your letters and applications.
Career Advice
Getting advice from someone who is neutral (not a partner, family member, colleague) is essential to be able to get a clear view of what is right thing to do. The sessions will provide insight and guidance on how to progress your career.
