In lesson 1 of the English with Lucy Business English Course, I teach you how to write the perfect CV (or resume) in English. We will discuss the different types of CV and which one you should choose for your career path, and also cover how to hide any gaps or lack of experience.
In Lesson 3 I will be showing you the language you can use to sell yourself in English, which you can use on your CV.
