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.

Hi Steph, I just think you should be aware that anyone can view this blog and you have posted details up such as your mobile number, NI number and phone numbers of your references! I'm just letting you know as I'm assuming this is private information that you may not want on a public platform!
ReplyDeleteYes same - I would put xxxxx where you are deleting details urgently… otherwise not sure you need the GCSEs - many to keep different CVs for different jobs - also this blog is a type of a public forum - so it is you the way you want to be as a professional. On the subject of head shots - what is happening there? do you have older ones that are no longer useful to a new image? do you have other professional sites you link to?
ReplyDeleteHi Pip, thankyou for pointing this out to me! I copy and pasted and it didn't click into my brain for some reason!
ReplyDeletePaula, Thankyou for your comments, in regards to head shots, I keep changing my hair an awful lot but I have booked some for the end of this month so watch this space!!!!! xxx
I have a lot of information our there - my mobile for instance - but that is the nature of what I do and I could end the phone quickly as I have over personal landline (both business and at home). I keep email addresses etc. that I can 'lose' if need be - so my gmail is one that is not my 'home' one. I think the idea is that we just think this part of our professional lives through.
