Help with impressing employers

Information about developing your skills, gaining experience and writing tailored applications can be found on our Help with pages. You could also book into the Careers & Visas: Create a brilliant UK job application  workshop on Handshake.

Help with English

UK employers expect you to have good English skills. There is lots of help available at Exeter from English Language Skills Development. They offer courses and workshops as well as one-to-one support. They have a Guided Independent Learning site. 

They will help you develop your spoken and written English skills and improve your pronunciation. You can practice with native English speakers at The Conversation Cafe.

There is even a series of employment related workshops, such as ‘English Language for Interviews’  or ‘English Language Skills for CVs and Application Forms" which are bookable via Handshake.
