CV Support

You have 7 seconds to impress a potential recruiter – less time than it takes to boil a kettle.

While you are sending out a poor CV your competitors are not.

Most media CVs are sent speculatively – they don’t need you - so you have to impress them.

Simply put - YOU CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO INVEST IN YOUR MEDIA CAREER.

Mistakes can cost you a job:
Each CV is unique – scatter gunning won’t work. Don’t waffle – be precise – make it an interesting read. Every word needs to match the job role applied for. Don’t leave off contact details. You get one chance - spelling and grammar matter.

My offer:
I will work with you in one-on-one confidential sessions to craft a compelling, easy-to-read CV tailored to your target job. Additionally, I’ll help you create a strong supporting cover email and design a professional portfolio that enhances your CV, seamlessly integrating it with your social media presence.

My experience:
With 25 years of expertise in offering CV advice for media and creative professionals at all levels, I have a deep understanding of what recruiters are looking for, an eye for spotting gaps within a CV, and the ability to build your confidence in marketing yourself and your skills effectively.

Imagine you receive this CV - it is an application for a junior role - what do you think of it?

Feedback

Calling yourself a Director/Producer/Camera Operator/ Editor for a junior role does you more harm than good.

You cannot be an expert at everything at an early stage in your career.

The personal profile is very broad and offers little specific information.

Breaking down your level of skillsets into separate CV’s is worth the time and investment.

Testimonial

Writing a CV, particularly after a while, can be daunting as it’s difficult to know where to start, what to put in and what to leave out. Christine’s years of experience helping media professionals build stand-out portfolios is second to none and effective in getting noticed above the competitors. She listens and guides you through the process in a logical way. When I came back on the jobs market after two decades with Sky Sports, I realised I needed some expert support to rebuild my CV. I learned how to focus my content for each application and ended up getting my dream job. Thanks Chris!
