The Edge on CD

The Careers Service is excited to offer you access to the latest version of the highly acclaimed resource 'The Edge', which deals with getting started, applying on paper, applying online, creative job seeking, and the job interview.

The 2008 version again includes extra functional tools, such as:

  • employer comments (via video) about job applications and job interview techniques
  • resume templates to build your resume
  • sample letters with comments and advice built in (annotated)
  • templates to build entries for your portfolio of skills

You can access the online version here (PDF document, approx 5 MB. Please read the technical/download/user & copyright details first), or come into our offices and pick up the CD Rom version or a hard copy version (the printed version does not have the additional functions listed above).
