Help with your

I have added a link to the General Websites menu called Times 100 Career Documents. This is a new site which offers help and support in the following areas:
  • Techniques for an effective job search
  • Writing a CV
  • Writing a covering letter
  • Dealing with application forms
  • Presentation skills
  • Psychometric testing
  • Interview techniques
I think this is a really good website and the documents are a useful resource which will help you develop your skills and find new career opportunities.

Feel free to post any feedback on what you think of them.
