This weeks lecture I got my CV reviewed by a expert to receive some critically feedback which I also got the opportunity to ask questions about my CV.
This was very useful as I was told what to remove for what was not necessary, for example ‘hobbies’ is not needed and it sounds childish.
I was also recommended to remove my address however I thought this was quite essential which I mentioned this to my lecturer and he agreed for me to keep it.
Another important detail brought up was to try and make my CV on one page, with removed content and if I edit my content to shorten it it should be possible.
Something I brought up to the professional was that I did not have any work experience to include in my CV and was my volunteer work be a good replacement as it demonstrates essential skills such as teamwork and organization. The professional said that it is still very relevant and all the skills I listed in volunteering was still useful. I was very happy to hear this as this was something I was worried about as I wanted to include something to demonstrate my skills and not leave it blank.
I took note of everything important during my CV review so I would remember all the important details.
Over the next week I will apply all my feedback and try and edit the layout of my CV to fit onto one page. This is how I would usually layout all my CVs it is just this time I have more content to include. I am in a very good position to finalize my CV to have it ready for next week which I plan to show my lecturer the new CV.
