Hello again :)
I was meant to do this task a lot earlier, but teaching took its toll on me so I'm doing it tonight while I have some time to myself :)
So Task 1a... Professional Profile. As I have seen from other blog posts, most professional performers have two CV's - a performing CV and a 'Proper Work' CV. So I'm going to share both and I would love it if you could give me some feedback on it.
Performing CV
Normally I would have a picture as well, but I need some new head shots so I will leave it out for the time being.

I am a hardworking individual who can work well in a team, as well as alone. I can supervise other members of staff as this was shown in my previous job. My experience is mainly retail, but I have done other jobs at some time or another. In my spare time I enjoy performing, teaching dance, taking longs walks with my dogs, exercise, baking and cross stitch.
