Heya,
Need some help with my CV content. This may sound a little strange but more often than not, writing out what I can -do- always stumps me. Attatched is the current stage of what I've got so far. It's come a long way admittedly but I'd like some more help.
Yes, have scoured the internet for guides. Some sites say this is right, other's say it's wrong. How would I go about selling myself? A Graphic Designer with a strong leaning to Illustration/Web Designer/Motion Graphics?
A colleague of mine classified herself as a multimedia artist and I feel inclined to agree as we tended to cover quite a range of tools and skills in Public Broadcasting but never quite specialized in one area.
