CV Check
Despite the particular situation we are experiencing, the USI Career & Alumni Service remains operational also for one-to-one counselling. You can still request your CV Check, which will be done on line (videocall on Zoom). For more information, contact careerservice@usi.ch.
The Career Service offers a one-to-one guidance and review of your application dossier. To book an appointment, you must submit a request attaching your curriculum vitae or your motivation letter.
