CV Clinic

Overview

A CV clinic focuses on the document you already have and the specific points that make it difficult to use. The proposed activity concerns reviewing clarity, relevance and consistency rather than starting every application from the beginning.

Useful questions include whether the reader can understand your direction, which experiences deserve more attention and where a statement needs evidence. The purpose is to identify revisions that you can make and maintain yourself. Personal review arrangements and any document-sharing process require confirmation before participation.

This is a proposed activity in the Career Development catalogue. The themes below explain its intended focus; they are not a confirmed session programme. Delivery format, dates, language, participation requirements and any costs will be communicated only after they have been confirmed.

This activity is planned. Dates, delivery arrangements and participation availability require confirmation.

What this pathway focuses on

• Check the overall structure: review section order, headings and whether key information is easy to find.
• Clarify experience statements: replace vague wording with accurate explanations of responsibilities and contribution.
• Prioritise relevant information: consider what supports your intended direction and what creates unnecessary detail.
• Review presentation: check consistency of dates, spacing, terminology and document readability.

Who this pathway is for

For people with an existing CV who want to identify practical improvements before an academic or professional application.

Prepare your next step

Keep an editable CV and identify the audience it is intended for. Mark two or three sections you are unsure about. The short interest form does not accept documents; explain your revision goals and wait for any confirmed sharing instructions. Any participation conditions will be confirmed separately; this preparation guidance is not an eligibility rule.

What you can work towards

How to register interest

1. Review the focus of this planned activity and identify the question or skill you want to explore.
2. Use Register Your Interest to share your goals and relevant background. Do not send account credentials or sensitive documents.
3. Wait for confirmed information from EBDA before making participation arrangements. An expression of interest is not registration or a reserved place.

Sending a request or registering interest does not guarantee participation, a place or employment.
