From looking for the right position and writing an effective CV to preparing for an interview and beyond, we can help you navigate the entire process of landing a job from start to finish.

Job Hunting

Our online job hunting platform has a range of useful tools for you to get stuck into, such as links to some useful job-seeking websites, job hunting specifically in the North West region if you’ve become fond of life in Salford and even help with speculative job hunting. We even have our own exclusive jobs site that alumni can access. Take a look through the resources to get a feel for what could be the right position for you.

How to Write Your CV

A lot about how employable you appear to a potential employer can lie in your personal brand, and there is no better way to express this brand than through your CV and cover letter. Your CV is ultimately the decider on whether you get your foot through the door, so it’s important to sell yourself. We have some useful resources on CV and cover letter writing on our Careers Service hub, and we also offer CV workshops and reviews to current students and graduates.

Applications & Interview Preparation

Completing an application can be a long process, and when you’re applying for multiple jobs at once they can become tedious, meaning your attention to detail begins to wane. We can advise how to narrow down the jobs that are really worth applying for and how to put your best foot forward when filling in the application. Favour quality over quantity every single time when it comes to applying for jobs as ultimately you want to end up in a role that you will enjoy.

Then, if you’re invited for an interview, it’s an exciting time but can also be a daunting one to some. We offer a range of services to help you prepare including guides, videos and even a mock interview service so you can practice your interview technique.
