With more and more of Antipodeans deciding to up sticks and explore a colder, slightly greyer part of the world, it’s never been more important to ensure your CV is updated for the UK market. While the communications market in London isn’t entirely dissimilar to New Zealand and Australia the number of skilled communications professionals working in the city means that it can be very competitive. Ensuring your CV is showcasing your skills and experience in the best light is a must for any Aussie/Kiwi new to the big city.

Some suggestions:

‘Convert’ your qualifications
UK universities use a grading system that’s totally unlike those we’re used to at home. Converting your qualifications to the UK grading standard helps potential employers recognise your degree in a way they understand. Removing that potential ‘question mark’ from your CV makes a big difference for employers and ensures that you are not underselling your qualifications.
