CV (Analysis)

I found it very interesting looking through my CV as, if I'm honest, it's something that I only get out when I need to send it to someone. It's been good to edit it and know that if I quickly needed to send it to someone it is now totally up to date. A few things I questioned....

- I have always struggled to know what jobs to include on my CV as I've done such varied work. Should you put it all down? (to show how experienced and hard working you are) or should you just put the jobs relevant to the position you are applying for? (As the rest is pointless information for the job you are going for) I also have a whole different CV for my professional theatre work. I have always just said 'Additional CV on request' but maybe this is wrong? I'd appreciate peoples opinions.
- Is there too much detail? I updated the layout of my CV about 6 months  ago as I used to just list the jobs and the years. A very successful friend of mine said I should be detailing what the role entails so it shows my skills. I remember looking on LinkedIn and he was right....everyone was detailing their experience. I do wonder whether it's too much though.
- I think I need to be more specific with my dates. Saying you worked somewhere 2014-2015 could mean you worked there for 1 month or 12 months. There's a big difference. But some jobs I only did for a few months as it was only part time and other opportunities come up. It might make me look unreliable?
- I need to add current training that I have done to my extra skills section. This is not up to date.
- I need to add my current job and what the role entails.
- Do I need the long paragraph at then end? My argument is that it is a little bit of a profile and gives the reader a bit more of a feel for the kind of person I am. Plus it includes experiences like 'back packed around the world on my own' which is information that isn't work but says a lot about your personality. In my opinion. I wonder if other people do that though? Maybe I should get rid of it. But it's my chance at the end to sell myself. And I think it is incredibly important to get your personality across, especially when applying for a job in the Arts.
Hmmmmm....definitely something to think about.

I always just have a template CV as I find I chop and change it depending on what job I am going for or who I am sending it to. Some past work experiences aren't relevant for some jobs but are very relevant for others. I have learnt that it's about being able to adapt. Be clever and make sure you sell yourself to the best of your ability.
