Most further education programs require that you create a CV, personal statement and/or letter of intent to communicate your intentions and interests for applying to the program.
The CV and Personal Statement Event is a set of popular drop-in mini-sessions for you to pick from.
We will introduce key components for writing your application documents. You will have the opportunity to receive support and feedback virtually from career educators and writing instructors in real time, so please bring all your drafts with you!

How The Program Works
Create stronger further education applications through three kinds of supports:
- Pre-recorded mini-workshops: When you register on CLNx, you will receive an event confirmation email with access to three pre-recorded mini-workshops that offer quick tips and strategies on, ‘How to Write a Personal Statement’, ‘How to Write a Resume or CV for Further Education’, and ‘How to Ask for References’.
- Live Q & A sessions: During the CV and Personal Statement Event, you can virtually drop into one of four live virtual Q & A sessions if you have any questions on writing effective application documents after viewing the pre-recorded mini-workshops. A staff member will be there to facilitate a group Q & A session.
- Pre-book your one-on-one appointment with Career Educators and Writing Instructors: Select one type of appointment.
- Resume or CV Review
A Career Educator will review your resume and provide feedback about tailoring, formatting, highlighting your accomplishments, and other tips to strengthen your resume or CV. - Personal Statement Review
Review your personal statement with a Career Educator or Writing Instructor. To make the most of your time, have a draft of your statement ready to share and discuss, and information about the program.

The hosts answered questions pretty well and thoroughly. I was also able to use some of the tips for creating my own CV, so the information was helpful.

I liked the asynchronous modules and the ability to make an appointment with someone to read over my personal statement.
