Team and Crew CV's

Introductory Paragraph
- The right CV's are characterized by the relevant information and ones that refers to fact and past experience.
- It is important when using any font to make sure that the text is clear and easy to understand.
- 10 out of 15 people fail to customize their CV when handing it in to a employer.

Why Customize your CV
The two most important reasons are:
- If you talk about the relevant information then you are most likely going to be chosen for that specific job.
- Customize your CV by talking about why you are so different to make yourself stand out from the crowd.

CV Rules according to MFJC
- Always customize your CV to stand out.
- Check that your CV does not contain relevant information.
- Repeat the tittle of the job
- Remove where you live.
- Make sure you include relevant things.
- Think want the person reading it wants to hear.
- Do not drag on.
- Do not lie about your tittle. For example, director.
- Keep the size as small as possible to avoid spam filters.
- Save it as 'Your Name' 'Tittle' 'Company'.
If you are applying to be a runner then assure your CV has the right information.

But What if I have no Experience
-The Article says to be smart if you have no experience because if you have no experience then state why you want the job.

Specialize
- The worst thing you can do in your CV is say that you want to experience the job because it is a common factor in most CV's
- The article implies that specializing your CV means that you have to make it stand out in order to impress your employer.

Example CV's
- The advice is to research the company and the job role.  
- The example CV I found most helpful was the Runner example as if i was in applying for a job in production then that is what i would go for.

The things all CV's have in common are:
- That they are clear and simple.
- Include the tittle of the job under your name.
- Repeat the tittle of the job
- Contains the relevant information
- Important information at the top.
- Do not drag on.
