Check out our timeline – it's your compass to staying in sync with your goals:
Trimester 1

Trimester 2
CV and LinkedIn - Make sure you are tailoring your CV towards each job you apply for. Use our online resources on CV support and access Career Set for some CV feedback.
Take time to review your LinkedIn profile to demonstrate the skills and knowledge you have developed as part of your programme. Check out our networking page for further advice on this.
