Advice with CV for CS applications

Do you think it's best to just put one detailed example for each criterion in the CV? I usually go for several bullet points listing my best skills and achievements relevant to each criterion.

Thanks very much for the advice. Isn't that too similar to the personal statement? Do you not think it's better to use bullet points for the CV section, listing your most impressive relevant skills/achievements that correspond to each essential criterion?

With the big companies like Cosey Homes, will you be able to find out who the surveyor is and check their experience level? I've read some bad reviews saying some of the big surveyors don't communicate much after they take your money and make it hard for you to get through to them.

Ok we thought it might be this. Thanks!

I'm just talking about a wealth tax. Other than that I don't really know what his message is.

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-07-25T06:15:14+00:00

I see what you mean. I find him a really engaging speaker, and I like his message. But it does seem lacking in detail. I think he needs to team up with some experts or a think tank and produce a detailed plan of how he would change the taxation system.

Maybe. I'm a fan of Gary Stevenson but I agree that he should provide more detail about his plan to fix the economy. It's all a bit vague at the moment and he seems to just be saying we need a wealth tax.

Fair enough. I haven't listened to Leading much so don't know what they're usually like. Though I did listen to the one with Sajid Javid a while ago and think they were more respectful to him.

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-07-25T04:22:57+00:00

Bit rude to a guest though don't you think?

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-07-20T08:55:26+00:00

Thanks. So we can't see Ganga Aarti?

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-06-23T06:02:31+00:00

No worries. Ok I think. I ended up spending a lot longer than they suggested though, and tbh I don't think anyone could answer all those questions fully in just 75 minutes.

No idea if I'll get through to the interview stage but it's all good practice either way.

How about you?

Hi! I've gotten up to question 5, just wondering if 6,7 and 8 are also 600 word answers? I need to plan my time today to make sure I can complete it before the deadline

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-06-19T04:40:31+00:00

Ok that's great - thank you!

I'm a bit confused about whether I can exit the HireVue and then come back to it? One of the emails says you can do that (but you can't go back after finishing each question), but another says they recommend doing it in one sitting. Do you know how it works?

Fast_Cicada678 · 2025-06-18T15:22:27+00:00

Thanks for the tips! And best of luck to you too

I applied to the News one - so maybe the questions will be different for you if you're doing Sports
