Writing your CV, application forms and Interviews

Tfpl - CV and Interview Advice
The Site.org deals with many issues relevant to young people and could be a first port of call but we're focusing on work and study. Likewise, Prospects deal with a vast amount of career information but have a look at applications, CVs and interviews.
You can also find books on these subjects in your local library. Search the online library catalogue using keywords 'CV' or 'job applications' or 'interviews'. The Reference and Information Centre also have prospectuses from various universities and colleges and a careers section providing good information. The Science and Business Centre also stock all the UK telephone directories and yellow pages if you need a particular number or you want to send out spec letters!
