Abstract

Unit IX has just shown you how to write a CV and cover letter that can make your qualifications and experience look competitive for a job application. So, if you got invited for an interview: congratulations, you’ve successfully passed the first round! The job, however, is far from over. If you want to finish it and get an offer for the position that you are applying for, you will have to confirm that good initial impression from your résumé in a job interview.
