    Gavin provides the point of view of employers on reading CVs. Thanks to this course, I have re-written my CV from scratch, in a more effective and stylish way.

    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!
