Further information on CVs:
The content and format of the CV is entirely up to you. You will receive an email with feedback early in Semester B.
There are many sources of advice on writing a CV in the library and on-line. Do read the information sheets on writing CVs and cover letters which can be found through the QMUL Careers Service website http://www.careers.qmul.ac.uk/ . It is also suggested that you seek advice and feedback on your draft CV from family and friends and the Careers Service.
Further information on cover letters:
The cover letter should be no more than 1 page long. In your cover letter it is important to identify:
· why you want the role, ie why you want to be an actuarial trainee working in a particular area;
· why you want to work for the company, including evidence of having researched the company,
· why you would be a strong candidate for the position, including some of the skills and experience that you bring to the role.
We will also be looking at the impact of your letter. It should encourage the reader to think you are a strong candidate who communicates well on paper and who they would like to meet in person.
