revise cv and cover letter

You are a PhD, a postdoc, or a senior researcher at university. You have to leave University or you want to find a job in the private or public sector. Having had jobs in research, you have never really applied for a job. You don’t know how to apply and whether your CV and cover letter are OK. Or you are a foreigner and you don’t know the local customs.

Courses and information about how to apply are normally very general and not aimed at researchers. We therefore revise CV and cover letters for academic researchers and people with highly specialised skills.

Target audience

Academic researchers and people with highly specialised skills (PhDs, postdocs, senior researchers, ...).

Just an email... 

Send us your CV and/or cover letter by email. You may just need to rework the content or you may want a completely reformatted document ready to post. You choose! We also target your documents to specific job advertisements. Just send us an email!

Modules

Module 1: cover letter standard

We rework your cover letter: How to express your interest in the job; How to show that you are the right person; How to be honest but not too modest; How to identify the details to which employers pay attention.

Module 2: CV standard

We rework your CV: You have a background as a researcher. But what else could be of interest for your future employer? Employers are normally not interested in long publication lists. So, what do they expect of you? We’ll show you how to identify your employer’s expectations and how to emphasize your talents.

Module 3: cover letter ready to post

Module 1 incl. proof-reading, complete formatting and pdf.

Module 4: CV ready to post

Module 2 incl. proof-reading, complete formatting and pdf.

Module 5: Adaptation

We target your cover letter (available only with modules 1 or 3) and CV (available only with modules 2 or 4) to the job advertisement.

Module 6: Translation

You want to apply in English/ French/ German, but you are not fluent in the relevant language, or you just don’t have time to translate your application. Native speakers will translate your cover letter / CV.

Module 7: Express

It can happen that you see a job advert with a very short application deadline, and you have to apply within a few days. We can make it possible! Add the Express module to module 1-6 for extra fast processing.

Module 8: Coaching

You prefer to discuss your job possibilities and application documents in a personal assessment. Sign in for a coaching for researchers!

Module 9: Hotline

You have specific questions concerning a job ad, the upcoming job interview or your salary expectation. Contact our hotline!
