Join hundreds of Freelancers winning more work thanks to Clearly Creative Space


It’s tough getting through to the interview round when there’s so much competition for jobs.
Getting rejected is demoralising, and you start to doubt your own creative abilities.

Clearly Creative CVs gives Freelancers looking for work proven techniques to communicate their skills and experience clearly so they win more work.


Ivan was struggling to find work

He kept sending his CV out, but his mobile wasn't ringing with offers.


Then he discovered the Clearly Creative CV Course.


“I have implemented the suggestions you made. Things have been going well. I’ve had the chance to film in China, Sri Lanka and for ITN on multiple occasions since I updated everything 🙂"


Ivan, Camera Person

Clearly Creative CVs is not a quick-fix template with a 'perfect' CV that bares no resemblance to yours


When you start the course you'll develop a mindset that:


1) Enables you to write the kind of CV employers love to read
2) Shows you how to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your experience without making it fifteen pages long

3) Teaches you simple marketing techniques to keep you in employer's minds when they're recruiting

4) Gives you strategies for increasing your hit rate of getting interviews.

  • Frequently Asked Questions about the Course

    1. Can these Clearly Creative CVs really help me grow my career?

    The simple answer is yes. I can’t promise you’re going to get a call from Netflix the day after completing the course, but the practical advice and mindset changes you’ll learn will get your CV a higher response rate that help you get closer to your career goals every day.

    2. Is this the best course for me?

    There are lots of courses out there helping freelancers. Clearly Creative CVs is geared to freelancers win work more effectively from new employers. We have testimonials from Editors, Make Up Artists, Producers, Animators, Camera Crew… all of whom have won more work thanks to my course. They’ve scored the content 4.7/5 stars.

    3. Do I need to take the offer NOW?

    Yes, you need to act now. That might not be buying my courses. But you need to make a change today. If you don't know what to change about your CV, then this is the course for you. The price of my courses will be going up as I add more content. So getting in now will lock you in to the content at the best value.

    4. What if it doesn’t work for me?

    Of course you’ve got doubts, maybe thinking, “Well, the course has work for everyone else but I don’t think it will work on me.” One make up artist thought just that. “I bought your book and I admit it sat on my bookshelf as I thought it might not be right for me. And when I did start reading it I slowly cringed into the sofa whilst pressing delete a lot on my CV. It’s still a work in progress but it has helped.” There will be sections that will resonate with you more than others, but you will find the majority of it relevant to you.

    5. Will there be good after-sales service?

    If you’ve got any questions about the course you’re welcome to contact me directly, but I recommend putting them on our LinkedIn group, where the community of freelancers can answer your questions.

    Ellen

    Animator/Editor

    This course made me view my CV and how I sold my skills in a completely different light.


    My previous CV was awful in comparison to my current one, following Clearly Creative CVs I wrote a new one from scratch.

    J Watkinson

    Workshop Attendee

     This course helped me to completely re-write my CV into an organised creative format.


    It's mostly focused around jobs in the television industry, but I found it also applied to freelance writing.


     It was however a massive help, and I'd recommend it to any beginner or established professional.

    Gareth

    Writer/Director

    Very insightful with lots of useful information, some major and some subtle (I really liked the psychology behind how you name the CV file).


    As someone who has never had to write this type of CV before this was incredibly helpful and, hopefully, has saved me from a lot of unnecessary rejections. Thanks!
