Sample CVs and useful resources

The examples of CVs below should give you some ideas of what to include in your CV, how you can evidence your skills and how you might layout your CV to make it look professional. It is important to note that these examples are not perfect - your own CV could be structured and presented very differently. After all, your CV is unique to you - it has to reflect your skills, achievements and qualifications. Generic templates should be avoided!

Other Resources

Appointments with Advisers

Once you have a draft copy of your CV or covering letter, we recommend you come in to see one of our team of Career Development Advisers who will give you feedback and suggestions for improvement. You can book a 45 minute guidance appointment in advance, or use our Drop-In Duty sessions which are bookable on the day.  These 20 minute discussions are ideal for getting some quick feedback on a CV or a covering letter.

Information Room

We have a wide range of CV resources in our Information Room in Student Central including specialist reference books (eg Creative CV Guide); DVD’s (eg Looking Good on Paper); leaflets and guides (eg.AGCAS Applications, CVs and covering letters). Call in and see us and we will help you access the resources you need.

Workshops

We also regularly run workshops on a wide range of topics including CVs.  See the events section of our website for details of the current workshop programme.

• Destinations – an additional section on our website that has great resources for helping you with your CVs and covering letters. (Note: you will need to use your Bradford e-mail login as this resource is for our students only.)
