When set the task for module 1 to develop our CV in different stages I panicked and thought which CV do I do?! My professional performance CV or my professional job cv? I suppose the question is answered by what job am I applying for? Therefore I thought of the idea to join the two CV's together in the sense that when finishing my current role at Warner Leisure Hotels I will be applying for undergraduate roles at primary schools. This is the career path I am heading towards.
The first big question is what do i need in a final cv? I researched some CV templates online and found that the ones that had a more professional design were more appealing. This can also be quite a costly approach by some CV designers however if you are quite alright with a computer its fairly simple to do this on word.
Starting off with my two orginal CV's that looked like this........Keeping to hiding my personal information i have not included it on any CV's shown on my blog.
I took the important information from each one to start off rebuilding on a new design. Because both these CV's are out of date I had to develop a current up to date one. I liked the designs on some websites and I wanted to use these designs to inspire my new CV.
The things I had to ensure i included was:
- Personal Profile
- Employment History
- Contact Details
- Education History
- Hobbies
- Special Skills
- A Picture
- Social Network details
So with all this in mind i redesigned my new CV to look like this.......
I used icons downloaded from clip art to make things like the hobby section look more interesting.
Any Ideas to how I can improve on this final design would be great! Thankyou Bloggers!
i really like your layout and design alice :) very nice to look at
ReplyDeleteCreative resumes aren’t for everyone, and they’re certainly not for every type of job – but they do have their place, and they can be an effective tool when you’re looking for new opportunities. Just keep things tame!
ReplyDeleteBottom line: just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Creative resumes do have the potential to get you noticed, but you want to make sure that you’re being noticed in a good way, and for the right reasons.
