It is useful to get impartial feedback on your CVs, covering letters and application forms before sending them. This is important not just for checking format, content and style but also to ensure that you have no spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes – a big turn-off to any employer.
You can ask friends and family to give you feedback. Academic tutors can advise on CVs for jobs related to your subject. Make use of any contacts you may have working in the field you are applying for, particularly in terms of the styles of CV which are common in that area.
