Task 1a

Professional Profile

As both a performer and a freelance teacher, marketing myself and my skills are top priorities in order for my business (myself) to thrive and for jobs to keep coming in.

  Usually the first point of call for an employer of course is a CV, a way of quickly scanning your skills to see if you may be suitable for the next stage towards the job in question. However, my skill sets and experience needed for a Musical theatre or commercial job may completely differ from a children's ballet teacher position. Therefore two separate Cvs seem most appropriate in order to sell myself in the correct way for each field.

As you can see the performer one is much shorter with simple headings and skills, that can be read quickly in an audition situation, where the casting director does not have time to read detailed paragraphs and explanations.

And of course in this industry, image is so important and head shots must be kept up to date at all times.

I also make sure I keep my Linked In profile spot on (as mentioned in previous blog) as I have had many professionals approach me for jobs and interviews through this Web 2.0 channel. 

Please feel free to comment on any aspects of either Cv any feedback is really appreciated.
