CVs & Cover Letters 

WHAT IS A CV? 

A CV, which stands for curriculum vitae, is a document used when applying for jobs. It allows you to summarise your education, skills and experience enabling you to successfully sell your abilities to potential employers. Your CV is the tool that helps you get your foot in the door when applying for jobs.

WHAT IS A COVER LETTER? 

A cover letter or email is a document sent alongside your CV when applying for jobs. It acts as a personal introduction and helps to sell your application. A cover letter is necessary as it gives you the chance to explain to an employer why you're the best candidate for the job. Cover letters add context to your CV and allow you to sell your skills and experience to potential employers. 

Google Docs have CV templates, go into your doc and you will see "templates" at the top of the screen. You can also create a CV by using Google Digital Tools.
