CV Guide

Amaryllis Chrysafi, Hotel, Tourism and Event Management As a student of European University Cyprus, I was searching for a job that would be flexible around my class schedule, as well as help me prepare for future employment. I came in contact with the Career Office at EUC, and had immediate response by first asking me what type of job I was looking for.

Furthermore, I was advised on what would be best for me, to help advance my skills for the future. Along with that came the preparation of my CV. I was given a few examples of what a good CV should include, and not long after I finished preparing it, I received feedback on how I could improve it to its full potential. Lastly, as soon as my CV was complete by making a few of the suggested adjustments, the CareerOffice sent it out to employers. I was then contacted by companies that were interested in interviewing me. As of today. I am still employed at a company that will help prepare me for the future. I am very pleased with the services of the EUC Career Center.

Andreas Adamides, Business Studies Upon graduating a person might feel lost as to where to look for work and such was the case for me. Since the first time I walked into the Career Office I was welcomed and made to feel extremely comfortable. The counselors introduced me to multiple job search platforms and sites.

Furthermore, they would often call me up for specific job openings that were not available through such platforms. It is worth mentioning that while searching for a job relevant to my field and preference, they put me through mock interviews to help me build confidence and skills that would enhance my performance at job interviews.

All in all, the EUC Career Center guided me through the entire process one has to go through to enter the job market and eventually find a job. I have already advised students as well as graduates to visit the Career Center as I believe their help and knowledge can be the deciding factor between finding a job and succeeding in getting it.

Christos Tiligadis, Radiology and Radiotherapy

My cooperation with the EUC Career Center started during a time my confidence hit rock bottom. Despite my academic excellence and a rich CV for my age, I was unable to attract almost any employer interest in Cyprus. From the very first moment the career advisor Ms. Andri recognized the problem and calmed me down by indicating the existing difficulties of finding a job in my field. Our first task was to discuss and spot any mistakes from my side, that could repel the employer’s interest.

The next thing was to discuss if I was willing to work abroad, since the market in central and northern Europe was much wider than Cyprus. Luckily, Ms Andri informed me about of the EURES network, a network that helps and encourages young Europeans to find a job in other EU countries. Without losing any time, we prepared a suitable CV and cover letter and forwarded them to the network. Several weeks after, I received a job offer from a big hospital in Sweden. Today am more confident than ever to start my career and this would not have happened without the Career Center’s help.

Loukia Antonaki, MBA Getting in touch to the European University Cyprus Career Center has proved incredibly helpful to me in finding a new job. As I was finishing my MBA studies, I was looking for a job in a different field compared to my previous career path, so it was important for me to have a helping hand. Without a second thought, I sent my CV to the Career Center. The response that I received from them was immediate. Ms Andri Stylianou, a Career Advisor responded positively to every request of mine. She was not only direct, but also full of interest, care and kindness. She gave me invaluable suggestions on how to present and enrich my CV, but she showed a great interest in what my ideal positions for employment were, which played a major role in finding a job in my preference field in a really short time period.

Soon after our contact and a number of applications, I had a call from a major corporation on the recommendation of the Careers Center, which ended at getting the job! I am thankful to the European University Cyprus Career Center, as contacting them led to a great opportunity in the business field.

Stavros Iacovides, Business Economics I wanted to start off by saying how grateful I am for all the support given to me by European University Cyprus over the years. They’ve gone above and beyond and helped me in times of need and advised me on how to proceed and start my career. If it were not for them, I would have never been where I am today and I am truly grateful. The level of support and advice is top notch and you can tell these people actually do care and you are not just another student that comes across their desk and that shows in their results.

The perfect job is out there for you! Keep searching and don’t give up! GOOD LUCK!
