At LondonSAM, we have a proven track record in helping our graduates secure that all-important first step on the ladder to their chosen career.
We know that top companies target the LondonSAM College. We have strong, ongoing links with many major employers, and the calibre of our previous graduates has created many opportunities for those who are now completing their studies.
Some of our degrees are strongly vocational, several are unique and at the forefront of emerging technologies and industries, such as IT.

Your CV (abbreviation for Curriculum Vitae – Latin – meaning “course of life”)

Your CV is an advert for you. Employers and recruiters commonly use applicants’ CVs to decide initially who they're interested in for that dream job. So it’s worth taking time to make sure it’s as good as it can be. Opinions vary about the best way of presenting a CV, but they all agree on one thing: it has to be about much more than what you’ve studied.

You’ll need to show how you’ve gained from the experience of studying, how you’ve applied your knowledge in real-life situations, and developed the right kind of skills in the process. As well as your Careers Service, all of the web sites listed below will offer really useful information on how to make the most of your CV.

	Work experience placements
	Work placements are an excellent way of getting valuable experience on your CV, as well as a very effective way of making contacts that could be very useful to you in your future career. Placements can be paid or unpaid, and the opportunities vary. In one company, you may be learning how to do a very specific job; in another, you may be doing more general work that develops your understanding of how that company works as a whole. Both are incredibly valuable to anyone at the start – or re-start – of their career, especially because they give you a clearer understanding of what you want – and what you don’t.
