  10. Comments from students who have completed the award I particularly liked the CV and interview sections as they really helped me to think about aspects of an application I wouldn't have considered. I understand my skills in more depth and can elaborate on this.It really helped me to find out what employers really want out of interviews, CVs in the selection process.Knowing what employers look for in graduates and how CVs should be tailored.
