Week 3 wrap

This week we found out what employers are looking for when they put out job adverts, what you might put into your CV, and how our developers worked on their CVs using an action plan. You should now have a pretty good understanding of what a development job in your discipline looks like, what professional and technical skills you’ll be using day to day, and how to go about applying. It’s important for me to say here that we’re not expecting you to be ready to apply for a job or set an interview. By familiarising yourself with the process, hopefully you will identify what you’ll need to do when you are ready, and improve your chance of success.

Next week, you’ll hear how our developers handled their job interviews, and hear tips from our experts on how to prepare yourself. I was incredibly nervous before my interview. I told myself to see it as an opportunity, to see it as a chance for growth and development, rather than something that you can’t do yet. See you next week.
