How do I write a CV and covering letter?

Your CV should be unique, reflecting your particular strengths whilst being clearly focused on the role you are applying for.

You can also find a range of example CVs and other useful materials in the Surrey Employability Hub. From the Careers Guidance page, scroll down to the 'Preparing to Apply' section where you will find a collection of practical resources to help you write your CV.

You can also use our guidance on Writing Effective CVs and Writing Effective Cover Letters.

If you would like your CV or covering letter looked at before you send it out, then you can a book a 15-minute quick query appointment via your Surrey Employability Hub (formerly called Surrey Pathfinder) account. Use your student email and password to log in to the Surrey Employability Hub.
