Writing a professional CV is a key step in developing a successful career. Our team has many years experience and industry knowledge to bring you the ‘Gold Standard’ in CV writing. To assist you with the writing process, we have developed guidelines and templates for MSc, MBA and PhD students, which are all included in this pack.

“If the purpose of the cover letter is to get your CV read, then the purpose of your CV is to secure you an interview. ”

Why can’t I use my original CV for job applications? Why should I write another?

Many of you will already have a CV (or several) that you have been using, however, there is very little published advice regarding the transition of postgraduates into more senior roles. Most of the advice centres on undergraduates and those seeking more junior roles. The Cranfield CV is specifically tailored for our postgraduate students, and will form the basis of all your job applications during your time with us.
