Attended today a workshop organised by the HE unit for students titled
"Sell Yourself – CV & Cover Letter Advice & Guidance workshop". I must admit it has been a long time since a put together the format of my CV and now I'm in the creative industry I was intrigued to see if it was any different to the formal presentation of the past?
The workshop was run by Pauline Banks who is a personal advisor from Jobs, Education & Training (JET) in Newcastle. See http://www.jetnorth.org.uk/
This was useful and was the catalyst to go back to my existing CV and give it a tweak. Instead of 3 pages it has now been condensed to 2 and has been updated with some apparent buzz words employers are now looking for as well as all my recent photographic experience. An hour or so well spent! Must get some nicely weighted writing paper for those employers that still like paper versions rather than electronic CV's.
