Careers ServiceBuild your skills & experience

Everyone possesses a range of skills. It's important to be aware of the skills you have, as well as the level of any particular skill you have. Remember you can have a skill at a basic level and improve that skill level to an advanced level.

Employers & jobs

Job adverts will normally include a person specification section where the employer states details of the skills/competencies required for the job. Tailor your application by providing evidence of what the employer is looking for in the skills and experience section of your CV/application form.
