CV Writing

creative skill set has some helpful information available

CV's only have seconds to impress so they need to be clear concise and professional not just 'good looking' .

BASE CV
This is the CV which contains every scrap of information and is constantly updated with everything new that is done. This is then adapted for each job that is applied for as each one will have different relevant information

CV

Target it to the reader = show specific experience for that job
No one size per all = clients may specify size
Honesty = Liars don't get hired
No Negatives = good is better, makes you look better

All Cv's need to be clear, concise, spell checked, have 'Active words', be consistent, use negative space effectively, use a professional font.

The CV is all about what you would bring to the client/company, how do you help them? what can you do for them?
