CREATIVE CAREERS – CV WRITING 1-2-1 Advice Session

The Industry Evening Series is a programme of events where traditionally unobtainable access and information can be found on the people, companies and opportunities that exist in the creative industries.

CREATIVE CAREERS – CV WRITING 1-2-1 Advice Session

This 1-2-1 advice session is designed to help you write a CV tailored to the creative industries. Our industry professional will take you through all the steps involved in successful creative CV and cover letter writing, from your personal profile to skills, experience, employment history, education, qualifications, interests and references. 

You will explore your areas of interest with a current employer in the creative industries and gain interview and writing tools that will make you and your CV stand out from the crowd.  

Exeter Phoenix believes in preparing you for the real world of further education, work experience and employment with knowledge, confidence and access to industry professionals.
