CV refresh

As part of your membership of the Institution, we can refer you to our employment coaching provider, Renovo, free of charge. Renovo can provide you with access to its online employment coaching resource, Workfriend, plus up to two hours of individual consultancy time, working with you over a three-month period.

Renovo will use telephone, email and Skype based contact to address the areas that you feel you need help with, and you will have the opportunity to reflect on your personal goals, values and style, and align them to your skills, experience and current opportunities available to you. Your adviser will consider suitable objectives and provide positive advice about the next steps you could take, with particular emphasis on your CV content and presentation.
