Application & Interview advice
The MGT team do offer an applications advice service. This is available to use before you submit your application documents via CareerConnect. You should send your CV and covering letter, tailored to the specific MGT role you are applying for, via mgt@manchester.ac.uk
However before you consider sending us your application, have a look at the resources below to ensure you have tailored your application specifically to the job description. Try to make your application the best it can be before you send it to us for additional advice. You may even find that if you use all these great resources, you don't even need to send it.
