CV Workshop

I found the CV workshop quite useful as I have always thought mine was quite good up until this point but it helped me see that there are always improvements to be made.

I have been able to reduce down some sections of text that were too large and would of been skipped over by potential employers. I also learnt to highlight the qualifications relevant to the job I am looking for and relevant previous experience. One thing I need to double check is that I always thought that unexplained gaps on your CV were bad but I have been advised to pick 3/4 of the best of my past jobs to present in my work history.

I still need to do some work on making the CV 'More Me' but by reducing a long list of interests I will be able to give more detail on the most important ones and develop the opening statement somewhat. Whilst remembering that large sections of text are off putting. I am also looking forward to emphasising some of the results from the personality tests we are going to do.

I also enjoyed reviewing my CV because objectively looking at all the experience and skills I have gathered since school has given me more confidence.
