There are many online resources dedicated to helping prospective employees prepare a CV (curriculum vitae, or resume) or get ready for an interview. The United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA) website, based in the UK, provides a list of interview tips to ensure a great first impression. Their website can be found here. Nefesh b’Nefesh also provides a detailed explanation of what to expect at a first interview in Israel. Click here to read more. The Jewish Agency's Aliyah Job Center has a comprehensive menu of services, from guidance in writing a cover letter to job listings in Israel.
Israemploy and iDonovan provide CV counseling and the ability to post your CV online, with access to thousands of jobs in Israel. Both sites require fees for the use of some of their services.

Universities Offering Courses and Programs in English
I have compiled a list of English educational opportunities at other universities throughout Israel. You can find out more information about any of these programs by clinking on the links on the right-hand side of the page. Many of these universities offer full degree programs, leading to either a BA, a Master's, or a PhD.
