UCL GBSH Biotech and Pharmaceutical Student Ran Mo shares some tips on how to improve your CV whilst studying, and explains all the amazing CV support offered at UCL and the Global Business School for Health.
Seek support from UCL Careers Service
As one of the typical target schools recognized by top companies, UCL has many resources and opportunities to help you develop your future career. You can make an appointment with UCL Careers Services to discuss your CV in depth. The staff at the Career Service Centre will not only help you revise your resume very meticulously, but also give you inspiration when you don’t know how to add content to your resume, and help you better express your previous experience in the best possible way.
UCL Career Services also provides a series of courses to help you master job-hunting skills, including clarifying your career direction, how to write a CV, how to write a cover letter, and how to prepare for an interview. Find out more here.
Make use of the UCL GBSH career support available
Within the GBSH, there is also a range of exceptional careers and CV support available to students.
Our Health Executives in Residence are a group of industry leaders who volunteer their time to provide our students with career coaching and mentoring. Students are able to meet with their Health Executive in Residence and discuss their career goals and gain advice on how to best represent themselves on a CV.
Furthermore, the MSc Biotech and Pharmaceutical Management programme has a team of industry mentors who are experts in the biotech and pharmaceutical management fields and offer guidance and advice, including CV advice, to all MSc Biotech and Pharmaceutical Management students.
Choose the correct CV style that fits your desired employer
There are various standards for resumes in various industries. For instance, detailing academic experience rather than part-time experience is required when applying for a PhD or research assistant role. However, this may be different for a more corporate role. By carefully researching the company and reading the official job description you can better prepare yourself for creating a CV that best suits the company you are applying for.
Applications for UCL GBSH postgraduate programmes are open
