Description

Hi! I am a Business English teacher and typically my courses are for non native English speakers, however anyone who is looking to write a CV, update their CV, start applying to English speaking jobs will hopefully find this course helpful.

I have included downloadable templates, helpful vocabulary, and insightful information from my time working for a number of different organisations.


My background is in Fashion Marketing, however I retrained to become a Business English teacher about 5 years ago, I really enjoy helping people, lifting their spirits, boosting their confidence and I just found Fashion Marketing to be a bit too superficial. Teaching English has become my passion and even if you are a native English speaker I think you will find something helpful in this course.


You will learn what a good CV template looks like,

What to include and what not to include,

How to summarise your background and experience,

Successful vocabulary,

How to write a good cover letter.


I have created this course, for free because I know this kind of information is incredibly helpful and I wish someone would have helped me when I created my first CV.


If you are a non native English speaker, this short course comes directly from my Business English course, which covers so much more, email writing, presenting, vocabulary for the workplace etc. If you need a little help feeling prepared for English speaking interviews and jobs I highly recommend checking out the full course as it should be of help.


I hope you enjoy and find something helpful here!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone wanting to create or improve their English CV / Resume, if you wish to apply to English speaking jobs but do not currently have an English CV, or you have an English CV but want to check it's credibility, this course can offer you something helpful.
