Task 1a - CV

As daunting as it is your CV is the first thing a potential employer looks at so of course there is a big pressure to ensure that shows you off and that you come across as employable. In my CV I have tried to make it easy and simple so it only covers one sheet of A4 so that the reader feels like it is not too much to read and the most important aspects come through. Here is an example of my CV without some of the most personal parts.

  1. Hi Rohanne,

    I really enjoyed the Wear it Pink post!

    In terms of the profile task, I would like to suggest you take the CV and draw out the main elements you want to include in the profile (that is the section under your picture.).

    Have a look at Melanie’s post, I thought she did a good job of extracting out her of her CV the main things she wanted to include in her profile.
