Professional Profile
You often learn how to do a generic curriculum vitae growing up and how to create your profile to an employer, but being in the dance profession I have learn generic does not always fit each job opportunity. When I have been on a performing jobs I have often had part time jobs running along side them, those part time jobs were my base. I had three CV's at the time one for performing opportunities, one for I.S.T.D dance teaching and the last one was for general bar jobs. My career focus now is purely teaching, I have recently developed a new CV to suit my professional practise today.
II have not seen anyone else's CV since college so I am really looking forward to seeing other students work, I am particularly interested how people layout their information and the skills they include. I have tried to make my CV as clear as possible for the viewer to see my key information however, it could come across as lacking information. It is a new one and I'm open to any positive or constructive criticism anyone might have to help me improve my chances of impressing the employer at a quick glance... I'm hoping it does not get put in the bin!

| If only it was as easy as Elle Woods, hand in a pink perfumed CV and get a job !! Thanks for reading looking forward to seeing everyone else's work. |
Hi Lois-May! I thought your CV was very impressive indeed! It's very clean and will definitely not be thrown in the bin as you said!! You seem to have had a lot of experience with dancing and choreographing and it's which is something I am working at the moment in the company I work in. Every year an evening is dedicated to young artists from the national opera to demonstrate their creative work that was done just over a months of teaching and rehearsing. I participate every year as I personally feel that, as a dancer, you learn how to listen to instructions and there's always certain rules you have to follow. But as a choreographer you can let your mind flow freely into your imagination which I believe that creativity is a vital asset for a true artist to have. I feel that it's important to train that side of your brain too, but it's also something I really enjoy doing. I really look forward to reading your blog and sharing ideas with you! I wish you the best with your degree!

ReplyDeleteHello Lois -May,
ReplyDeleteYour situation seems very similar to my own! as you will discover if you have the chance to give my blog a read :)
Your CV is VERY impressive!! How do you feel about no longer performing? Do you miss it? looking forward to reading more of your blogs and wishing you luck on embarking on the course!
Hi taz, really do agree with you the choreographing side of the arts is where I personally feel at ease like you said you can let your mind flow freely which is something I throughly enjoy and when choreography starts to come together after countless rehearsals its truly something great ! Thanks for your comments sure I will be speaking to you lots ! Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura Jayne, yes I will give it a read now.
ReplyDeleteThank-You for the positive feedback. There is a small part of me that feels like I would like to go back, but I go and take class and it keeps that part of me happy, also the stability right now allows me to do the other things I want to do e.g.. travelling, seeing friends family, and I know my hours when I work so I can shut down which is really important for me. Its all personal I need stability more than I need spotlight... each to their own if you can get both after determination and grafting I salute you ! :)
