Professional Profile (CV)
During my final year at English National Ballet School, I spent a sizeable amount of the first term creating a successful, suitable CV for the purpose of dance employment. Throughout the year I would adjust it accordingly, adding in performance or work experience and making general tweaks that I felt improved the format and the details displayed.
Learning how to properly create a CV is a really useful string to add to your bow as it is something that you will need throughout your life that will constantly evolve as you do. Below, I have presented my most recent CV; it originates from the one I used whilst at ENBS however it has altered according to my life and work changes that have happened most recently.
I have, for obvious reasons, not included my personal details such as my current address and mobile number but if I were to be applying for a job I would of course add these in with my other details.
I am considering adding in a little paragraph about my skills, does anyone have an opinion on this? Any positive feedback would be welcome!
