Resumes and cover letters for jobs in UK- what to mention about work status & do they use different formats?
Hi, I am a US citizen married to a British citizen. We are planning to move to the UK this fall as he will begin a PhD program in Scotland. I need to get a job and am starting to apply from the US. I assume I need to mention something about having legal permission to work since I’m married to a Brit (but can’t actually get the form until I arrive there). We can’t move unless I get a job first, though. What do I need to mention in my cover letter and resume. Are their resume and cover letter styles very different from the US?
You will find that what is called a Resume in the US is known as a CV in Britain (Curriculum Vitae). I would guess the formats are pretty much the same. Do you have any evidence at all of your situation – why don’t you inquire at your nearest British Embassy? I’m a Brit who successfully renewed my British Passport at the British High Commission (Embassy) in Kingston, Jamaica because I was resident in Jamaica at the time
