Quick Query sessions

Quick Query' sessions are ideal for having your CV or covering letter checked, or for a short discussion with one of our advisers. You can see the adviser for 15 minutes, and there is no need to book. The sessions operate on a 'first-come, first-served' basis, so just come along to the Careers Service between the times stated. If it's a busy session you might not be seen straight away, but we'll always try to let you know how long you can expect to wait. 

If you find you still have further questions or more to discuss, you can always come to another session or book a longer appointment with an adviser. Before you have an appointment with an adviser, there are several steps you will need to take to both get started and to improve your CV.

There are lots of resources to help you.  It's a good idea to look at a few examples and adopt the ideas that will work for you.  Everyone's different, but you will be able to find inspiration from:

  • The Prospects website is a great place to start, and includes lots of examples.  Go to www.prospects.ac.uk, click on “Careers Advice” and check out the ‘CVs & covering letters’ and ‘Job application advice’ sections.
  • www.surrey.ac.uk/destinations - a great resource the University has bought to help you make choices and present yourself effectively.  Covers many topics, including CVs.
  • http://targetjobs.co.uk/careers-advice/applications-and-cvs - useful sector information with insights from recruiters in each industry to help you plan your CVs and applications.

The more preparation you do the more you will get from your one-to-one session with a Careers Adviser
