Written by vnunet.com staff

Don't worry: we know exactly how you feel. Hunting for a new job can be a time consuming and stressful process.

It is, however, one of the most important tasks you'll undertake, and the creation of a winning CV is central to the whole process.

In creating this workshop, we consulted many recruitment experts who work with us and read through many of the numerous CV writing books available.

Most importantly, however, several of those involved in compiling this have recently found themselves a new job and have first-hand experience of the success of a good CV.

By working through this step-by-step workshop you'll cover all aspects of the CV writing process, from initial self-assessment, through to customising, checking and dispatching your CV for a particular job.

To assist you, we've included a template and several examples of impressive CVs.
