CVs and job searching

Remember that the University allows for reasonable paid time off to look for work when you are under notice of redundancy; you should discuss this with your line manager.

Careers and CV support

Information sheets on CVs, application forms and interviews are available to all staff and can be accessed on the Careers and Placements webpages. Staff who are graduates of the University of York can also contact Careers and Placements for advice.

You can download some example CVs, from the Prospects website.

The National Careers Service

All staff can access the National Careers Service which provides information, advice and guidance to help you make decisions on learning, training and work.
