6.6 Bringing your CV to your network

Described image
Figure 11 Promoting yourself

With the uptake of social media by large companies and recruitment agencies to search for potential employees, it is useful to have both a traditional and online CV.

Your final activity for this week is to use a template to help you to create both.

It is a slightly longer activity than others, but you do not need to do it all in one go. Just remember to keep saving the work you do as you go along.

Activity 6 Creating your CV

Timing: Allow approximately 45 minutes

In the Resource pack [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] , you'll find a template for a chronological CV. Complete it with the help of the information that you have gathered in your notebook so far. You may also find it useful to look back at Min Zin Soe Tint’s CV from earlier in the week.

Comment

Well done for completing this last activity of the week. You should feel proud that you now have a CV to work with. What an achievement.

That was your final activity of this week, packed with information to help you understand job adverts, and write relevant and solid job applications and CVs. You can check your understanding in this week’s quiz. There was a lot of information to take on board this week, so remember that you can use your notes or go back to the study material if you want to check an answer.
