In today's lesson with Terri, I learnt about what criteria is needed for an exceptional creative CV. I learnt that a generic black and white CV is appropriate in retail or catering however if I did ever want to explore the industry of creative media I will have to change things. I will have to evolve my CV into something creative, eye catching and originative where I express my skills of colour theory and typography in order to sell myself. By doing this it will set me apart from other applicants and guarantee me a better chance of getting a job.
This example of a CV is something which would be adequate enough for a none creative job. It is boring, simple and very much forgetful. However, if you are wanting to enter the world of creative industry you need to make a staple CV in order to set you apart from the crowd! This CV shown lacks colour, variety and individuality. The words blend into the background and nothing is memorable for the employer. This could risk your chances of getting the job because there is absolutely no proof that you are a creative person, leading to it being underdressed due to the simplicity.
In order to gain inspiration on creative CV's I did some research. I began on pintrest in where I found hundreds of examples. I found this creative CV and it stood out to me immediately due to the captivating house style, engaging subheadings and the consistent use of shape theory. The clear house style displayed to me that the person behind this poster is organised and pays to attention to detail, improving their chance of employability. Furthermore, the use of circles represents wholeness and 100%, inferring that they will be committed to this job. As well as this, by using subheadings it shows that they are confident because they have a lot to say and they know exactly how to represent themselves.
This is another CV I have found on pintrest, it stood out to me in different ways. There is a selfie on this creative CV which can be deemed unacceptable and susceptible to discrimation. This is because immediately you will be judged on your appearance rather than your skills and experience. Therefore, it can be deemed as unacceptable. As well as this the CV is very feminine with the floral design and 'girly' colours. If the company are looking for a male figure then they may not acknowledge this CV due to the colours. However this CV is suitable because it is laid out logically, most recent things first. By doing this it allows the employer to learn about your most recent jobs and awards without looking too deep into it.
