An exciting and ever changing industry. An industry where our advisors have vast experience and expertise – in film, interactive media, newspapers, magazines, new media, corporate, radio and television. Our advisors are still in the industry too as freelancers, on the staff of major organisations or as employers themselves,

Hence we really do know what Media Employers look for from a CV – what works in a Media CV, what decidedly does not, and offer advice on Show reels, Websites etc.. We advise and help with CVs and Cover Letters from a position of great knowledge, expertise and empathy (having probably been through your situation ourselves).

MEDIA CVs WITH A DIFFERENCE

Different professions and areas of work have different demands and needs from CVs. They use different jargon, some things are more important than others – depending upon the area.

The Media and Creative Industries are highly specialist areas, with ways of thinking, jargon and even of living that are distinctly and distinctively their own. Yet what an employer wants is the same, they want to:

• See those crucial and relevant elements explained
• Quickly and easily, within the first half page
• So as to be encouraged to read on.

If this information - and a feel for what you are and what you are about - is not in the first half page, then you are probably not right for the job. That will be their conclusion and they will probably be right too.

“My CV was all over the place. But yours, well, it took me a while almost to see that the CV was about me and that I had all that to offer … but I could immediately see what had been wrong, and how this new version could and would work for me, and was actually me.” Philip, Cambridgeshire.
