CV's are always a bit of a problem for me. I don't enjoy doing them and I never know how much information I should add. They constantly need to be updated which is annoying, and very time consuming. However, I must be more positive about my CV because after all, it is an important piece of information for securing work.
CV - Creating a good impression
- Include all relevant experience
- Qualifications and Training
- Exhibitions and Publications
- Target your audience ( i.e. work, gallery, exhibition)
- Include image for a visual CV (important for an artist)
- Create a link on your website to your CV
- Update CV often
- Name it Penelope Davies CV 2013
- Keep a CV folder on your desk top so that you can file anything that is relevant
- Read other artist/photographers CV's
- Who you are now is the most relevant to your CV
- Add Artist Statement
- Information about yourself - current work, where you are based, who you are, what's your passion
- Graduating from the University of Wales
- Control what information you have on your CV (do not need to add your address if CV being published on line
- Need Artist CV for my Portfolio
- Use good quality paper, looks more professional
- Good idea to read other artists CV as you can find competitions and sources for Grants
(Good example of CV Simon Roberts)
