For about three years, we’ve been running a CV surgery as part of our skills development for TV freelancers. I got tired of reading really badly written and laid out CVs.

They were just looking at their CV from the wrong end of the telescope, telling employers what they wanted to say, rather than thinking from the employer’s side, what they needed to hear. So back in 2007 I developed a programme with TV CV tips, put some ads out, and got a great responses from the first session.

I’ve been holding the workshops infrequently but I got noticed by Production Base and asked speak at one of their networking events. So I spoke about five tips for winning more work.
UPDATE
I’ve now moved the content on the book online as it worked as an online course that helps your write a great CV.
