Week 3

In today’s lecture we learnt about application forms that are sometimes given out when you wish to apply for jobs as well as C/V’s.

The lecturer made it clear that sometimes when you write something on you CV that it’s not what you really mean. For example "I have understanding writing C programs" does not necessarily mean your skill full you may only understand how to make a hello world program. In this case it would have been better to use more detail.

Another of he's examples were when people talk about using team work and instead of explaining what they did spend more time explaining what the team did.

This just goes to show that you should be carful what’s on your CV as you may be just as good at making yourself look like you have a wide range of skills, as making yourself look like you don’t have any experience
