What our Higher Education partners say
“Our students benefited enormously from the superb City CV workshops. City CV were professional, offered high-quality specialist support and truly understood the niche requirements of banking and finance employers. Very effective and well worth the investment.”
Professor in Banking and Finance, King’s College London
“City CV ran Winning CV and Interview Boot Camps for our MBA students over two years, including follow-up CV writing and mock interviews. The quality and content of the workshops was outstanding and feedback from our students was incredibly positive.
The depth of industry knowledge combined with the understanding of recruitment processes stood City CV apart from any other firms we have used. I am confident it had a great impact on our employability statistics and I would definitely recommend them to other business schools.”
Director, MBA Careers Management Centre, HEC
“City CV have been running CV and Winning Interview workshops for our MSc Economics and Finance students for the past three years. These have formed part of our employability strategy.
The workshops complement our own university careers provision and we work in an effective partnership with City CV to provide our students with the best service possible.”
