    Yeah, that's pretty much what I think and have done myself.

    I found a business that re-write CVs etc, supposedly they are super-effective etc, anyway - they had a free CV review. You upload your CV, and they give you a number to call, and someone goes over your CV with you over the phone.

    I did that, and they were telling me I shouldn't write in the first person, and that my skills should be listed above my experience, don't have a personal profile (vs my career summary), and a few other things.

    Isn't our industry a bit different when it comes to CVs? I just wonder that Creative Industry CVs should be treated a little differently than your standard CV.

    • yes, do not follow the standard CV blah blah.akrokdesign
    • write it however you want to write it. its YOUR cv and a reflection of YOUR personality23kon
    • Yeah for sure, but at the same time, while doing that I'm sure there are some blatant things we do that FAILMojo
