Winning Curriculum Vitae: An International Perspective Master Series

2 sessions (90 minutes each) will be at 10:00 – 11:30 am ET (3:00 – 4:30 pm UK) Wednesday, November 19th and 26th

What Is the Winning Curriculum Vitae Master Series?

Are you ready to elevate your writing expertise beyond U.S. résumé norms? This two-part masterclass is designed for résumé writers and career professionals who want to confidently craft curriculum vitae (CVs) that meet international expectations, especially those across Canada, the UK, and Western Europe.

Unlike the concise, results-driven style of U.S. résumés, international CVs follow a distinct set of conventions, from layout and content to tone and formatting. In this hands-on course, you’ll gain a clear understanding of what recruiters and employers across borders are really looking for along with the tools to help your clients stand out for the right reasons.

Whether you’re based in Canada, the UK, or supporting clients targeting roles abroad, this course will equip you with culturally relevant best practices, clear examples, and guidance on how to avoid common mistakes that derail international applications.
