Writing a CV - The pain of it all!

PostWriting a CV - The pain of it all! by **Floex** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 4:24 pm

Bastard, init

Anyone got any tips? I need to write a brief desciption of why I would be a good employee and I just cannot word it properly!

I got onto the careers office guys to get mine done. They were very helpful, but by the time they sorted it I managed to get the job I have now minus CV.

What kind of job is it for?

The layout is fine, quite nice in fact. I just need to change a few things here and there and I can't portray what I want to say :evil:

Stick some lolcats in it. Everyone loves cats.

"I like dull work."

I work in video production so things like editing and camera work

Hmm, cats does sound good

The cv's not so hard because once it's done, it's done. Covering letters are what piss me off.

You will have to hope whoever reads it is a middle-aged single woman.

Oh go you.

I wrote mine recently. It really is a pain. It's so difficult to talk yourself up without sounding really pretentious. What you've written sounds fine though. The advice from my uni's careers service was actually to tailor your CV to each job that you apply for. Yet more work!
