Drafting your CV
Please use the following bullet points to draft your CV. You can then format it to make it look all swish for your assignment/applying for jobs.
CONTACT:
name
phone/email
[no need for address or date of birth]
STATEMENT:
A short paragraph about yourself - this is the bit where you get their interest so that they continue reading. If you find it difficult writing about yourself in this way, ask someone to write it for you!
QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS:
If you have good grades, write them, if not, don't. Skills can be just as important as qualifications so make sure you list them all i.e PC/Mac use, Logic X & 9, Photoshop, (using different software shows that you can learn quickly and adapt), driving license, speaking other languages.....
EXPERIENCE:
All all paid and unpaid jobs, work experience, volunteering, projects you've been involved in, shows you've done....just because it wasn't paid doesn't mean it wasn't experience.
For each of these, say what/where/when it was and the responsibilities you had and the skills you gained.
INTERESTS:
Interesting interests, not typical things like socialising, reading blah blah.
