When I used these resources with pupils they formed part of a mock interview, where pupils were asked to apply for a job and present themselves using a CV/covering letter. This bundle consists of a model CV and covering letter when applying for a job (each with commentary and annotation to explain the key features of it to pupils). These are accompanied by templates which give a structure for pupils to complete their own.

This bundle contains a wealth of high-quality resources to help sixth form students advance their writing skills, apply to university and also gain employment. The resources in this pack would be very useful as handouts for teachers/tutors to distribute to their students.

Also contained in this bundle is numerous resources to help apply to university include model personal statements (for courses such as teaching, chemistry and nursing) and a template with tips to help students create their own. It concludes with materials which assist students in applying for jobs including examples of model CVs (academic and personal) and covering letters and templates for students to create their own CV and covering letter.
