Putting together the right CV and cover letter can make all the difference. However, effective applications for roles in global development can differ significantly from those in other sectors. Oftentimes, they require a targeted approach that highlights how you're going to address the issue that the organization created the job posting to tackle, explained CV writer and career coach Kathryn Harper, during a recent Devex career digital event.
Devex hosted the event for those looking to enter or advance in the global development sector, featuring Kathryn’s new set of updated Devex CV and cover letter templates and exploring how to make the most of them.
The new templates include two CVs — a chronological one and a topical one specifically for consultants, as well as a cover letter.
