Looking at some Creative CV's

Block One

Reflective practice

Today we were discussing how to make our own creative CV. We looked at different examples of CV's and studied their pros and cons. There were many example to pick something which I like and probably want it in my cv as well.

I continued at home researching of creative CV's, and now I have some ideas which I definitely will use in my own creative CV.

I will use at least 3 vivid colours to highlight my best skills and also a diagram. I do not want to use too much text, I would concentrate to write less but having eye-catching elements so it would be interesting and fun to read. Before today, I was not sure I would show my looking in digitally way but Adelina said it's not a good idea as people usually have consequences after seen a photo without a meeting.

Here are my favourite CV examples:

I think these CV examples shows the perfect ways to raise people interest. The first and second CV's both using vivid colours to catch people eyes which is a very good idea. Using different colours is always says the person is not boring. They also used circle-diagram and explanation to represent their skills which makes much interesting to read it.

I also like the idea to show the writer's looking in digitally way as we can see on the first picture and here too. However I am not sure I would do the same in my CV. Maybe I just will concrencate to show my skills and experiences.

I would used more colours to highlight some important skills and maybe less text.

Here I like the idea of using Timeline to show the person's biology.

This CV is not owercrowded but properly shows the essentials of the person's skills.
