Applications & Interviews
This section looks at the recruitment process and how you demonstrate to employers that you are the right person for the job.

Much of the information is directed towards the graduate application and selection process, but it is equally relevant to the Cooperative Education selection process.

By completing this section you will understand:

  • What makes a good CV
  • How to complete a winning application form
  • What to put in a covering letter
  • How to effectively communicate your skills and experience
  • How to perform confidently in a job interview
  • How employers sift and select candidates
