How to Create a Great Looking and Versatile CV

Course details

What is the course about?

This course will teach you how present and organize your CV in the way that hiring managers and industry professionals like to see it. So assuming you're looking to get into often highly competitive university programmes or industries, we'll show you how to make sure your CV is formatted in the right way to guarantee you get a fair shot when competing against potential hundreds or even thousands of other applicants.

Why take this course?

The creators of this course are graduates from The London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and Tsinghua University (清华大学) - universities that have consistently been ranked among the best in the world. We have also had successful careers working in Financial Services recruitment roles across the world, working day-in-day-out with hiring managers from top tier bulge bracket investment banks, Big 4 consulting firms and premier investment funds.

We've also been helping corporate professionals and students aspiring to work in these prestigious jobs apply for various positions for the better part of a decade and have come to know what works.

A big issue we noticed with e.g. people just starting out or coming from non-western hubs was that although their content was strong, it didn't tend to conform to the preferred viewing format, hence they were perceived as simply "not getting it" meaning that their application would then be immediately overlooked. With the simple tweaks we teach you, you can make sure your CV always goes into the review column and not the "No" column which hiring manages unfortunately want to automatically put you in, so as to make their lives easier when having to go through lots of CVs.

After reviewing 1000s of CVs we're able to confidently advise as to what works. With our proven and tested CV format design, within about an hour of watching our videos, you can create for yourself a great and professional looking CV that meets the grade, benefitting from hundreds of hours of work that has gone into developing and refining our service through tonnes of R&D.

With this course you'll save lots of valuable time and energy in trying to figure out how to have your CV looking the "right" way. We've done all the leg work for you so there's no need to re-invent the wheel. In addition, you'll save a lot of money by not spending 100s of $$ on getting one-on-one personal help with this. So if you want to create a CV that helps you get the position you want, then this course can help you do just that in a few easy steps.
