WORKSHOP: “Your CV – Step by Step”

Posted on February 23, 2016April 27, 2016 by madalina

CV Writing is challenging, but equally rewarding. The time spent to look back and assess past achievements, identify key areas of expertise, knowledge & skills and project these into the future is definitely a time well spent!
