One of Pete's fairly early was about placements and CVs and how to be noticed. Without a doubt it's probably the most real-world-useful lecture we've had, even compared to Pete's other lectures. Blimey he's had some good ones.
So Pete was talking about CVs and how to be noticed when employers receive a huge pile of the things every year. A few interesting pieces of advice were given. The first was to keep it succinct and focus on what the employer wants to see. The second: make it stand out from the crowd. That part's pretty hard in the world of very design-heavy CVs. The sheer range of beautiful ones I've seen from this course alone is jaw-dropping. And the third main point was about how they're delivered. Ideally give them in person, then post, then email, was his advice.
As Huddersfield Uni is placement-crazy, I had put together a CV halfway through this year to go placement-hunting with. I'll make a full post about this in a minute. But yeah, genuine thanks to Pete for pointing a lot of this stuff out. Super useful stuff.
