THE AUTHOR

Adrian Wallwork

I am the author of over 30 books aimed at helping non-native English speakers to communicate more effectively in English. I have published 13 books with Springer Science and Business Media (the publisher of this book), three Business English coursebooks with Oxford University Press, and also other books for Cambridge University Press, Scholastic, and the BBC.

I teach Business English at several IT companies in Pisa (Italy). I also teach PhD students from around the world how to write and present their work in English.

For the last 15 years I have been giving courses to non-native graduates and post graduates on how to write and present their work. These courses include a module on writing CVs and cover letters. In addition, I run my own company (offering teaching and editing services) and have revised countless CVs and job applications over the years.

I have thus collected nearly a thousand CVs written by people of all nationalities, both native and non native speakers of English.

In writing this book I consulted various HR managers both in Europe and the US, as well as recruitment agencies.

CV courses

I run 3-hour seminars on how to write CVs and cover letters. I also hold courses on business English and academic English (for researchers). I am happy to travel anywhere in Europe. To learn more, email me: adrian.wallwork@gmail.com
