Media Industry-CV


What is a cv?

A cv is a short written summary of a persons career, qualifications and education. A CV normally outlines a person's academic and professional history which is used for applying for jobs.
A Cv is normally the first impression your employer has of you, it is good to show why they should hire you and the perks they will get for having you on their team.

What should a CV include?
-Your personal details (e.g. name, address, phone number, email)
-A personal summary (who you are and what you're looking for)
-Relevant key skills
-Work experience (list with the most recent coming first)
-Education and qualifications (most recent first)
-Hobbies and interests (things that may help you get the job)
-References 


How to create a good cv?
  • Don't lie-employers often run background checks on their applicants
  • Sell yourself-your unique qualities, personality traits skills and experiences. What makes you stand out from the other applicants.
  • Be clear and concise-Cvs should be a maximum of three pages long and easy to read
  • Check for mistakes-make sure your spelling and grammar are correct. 

My Cv for retail and hospitality:


This Cv would not be suitable to send to clients/industry professionals as it is too broad in its context, it has information that is not relevant to jobs in the media industry.
I decided to make another Cv that is more catered to media and skills to do with the media industry.

For this cv, I used Canva and its resume templates as I wanted to make my media cv look more like my logo and website so it was clear that it was made by the same person.
This cv, only had my skills and qualifications from my media work. I gave, my LinkedIn account and business email (separating my media work from my personal stuff). I added a small introductory paragraph and some of my interests, to give future clients/employers a bit more about me.
