Tips on how to build a great creative CV? I’ve been struggling with it

- Include metrics where possible, show the impact of what you have done. I pitched x to x clients and drove a revenue increase of x. It might not always apply to each task but people like numbers and it breaks up words!
- Hi Hollie-May,If you are looking for some general pointers, I hope the below will help:- build your CV with someone in mind who will only look at it for a few seconds: make sure to highlight your name, title, website link and other important bits so it’s easy to skim- Adding a little bio could help to bring more personality to your CV- Fit onto one A4 page- with most CVs being read digitally landscape format is your friend (less scrolling required for someone else and you can integrate within portfolios etc much quicker)- Design it in a way it fits your website / social / portfolio design.Enjoy creating your CV. The good thing is – once you have a format you like it will last you for years...
- Ditto Aaron’s question. What are you struggling with, Hollie-May…?
