- 3. • Writing a good cv is the most important piece of research needed in the media industry as that defines whether or not you'll get your desired job role in the media industry, the first thing you need to do to make a good CV is organizing your info, an employer will need to go through the hundreds of CVS's from people applying for the same job role, due to all those CVS's an employer is just going to quickly skim through a CV looking for the crucial info such as your education, your skills and your experience, but just because some particular employers may just skim through your CV, that isn't an excuse to put a reduced amount of quality or quantity to your CV as some employers may receive less CVS's and read through each one, if they see that your CV has less detail or depth as the other CVS's they're going to be way less likely to choose you over the other applicants for the job role if they see you don't put as much effort into it as the other applicants which reflects onto you and the impression of dedication you'd put into the job role
- 4. It's important to include your other roles into a CV as it shows your overall experience for the job role you're applying for, it will show the skills you have and skills you have picked up from other job roles, this will add to your overall professionalism as well as your dedication to your work and the dedication you have for whatever industry you want a job in. Make sure that these explain the job role well enough while keeping it short and to the point as some employers won't have the time to read through every last little detail on your CV as mentioned before. The past job roles/experience must be relevant to the job role you're applying to, otherwise it will make it seem as if you haven't got the necessary experience for the job you're wanting or no experience in the industry. Make sure to highlight the achievements from your previous job roles as it will show the employers what you bring to the table and how you can do that job better than the other candidates, these too have to be to the point due to an employer's lack of time
- 5. •Proofreading is one of the most important part of a CV, it's easy to make a mistake when writing and that can stop any chances you have at getting your desired job role and can show an employer that you lack the two skills all employers look for, which is interest in the job and attention to detail within the workplace, poor spelling and grammar on a CV can essentially kill your chances at the job compared to applicants that have proofread their CV's and could be bothered to make it look as professional as possible
- 6. • Share your strengths, another thing employers tend to look for when reading through CV's is an applicant's strengths related to the industry of which the job you're applying for is a part of. • Your strengths can also make you stand out to employers over the other applicants competing for the same job role and make you look like the best candidate for the job, while some strengths may not be related to the job role have include them as long as they'd be relevant in a workplace in general, don't include any that wouldn't be relevant to any job as you don't want to waste an employer's time or make it seem like you're trying to just fill in gaps with strengths you don't have
- 7. •The most important thing to do with a CV is to keep it updated, you constantly learn new skills and get new strengths and skills, those new skills can help you stand out so it's crucial to be constantly updating your CV to include new qualifications or experience, anything new you gain, add it to the CV, it's a great way to make you look like the best candidate for the job
