Sparring for improving your job application and CV

-

  • Training

Don’t struggle alone with job searching: What should you write in a job application? What does a skills‑based CV mean? And how can you present your strengths and expertise in the best possible light?

Come discuss these questions with BusinessOulu’s job coaches. They offer job seekers sparring to develop their job application documents. In practice, sparring means “bouncing ideas” together, with the aim of generating new approaches to job searching and encouraging you to try them in real life. With just a few minutes of sparring, it’s often possible to unlock bottlenecks in your job search.
