Looking at showing my personality
Looking at what sort of personality traits do I want my cover letter and cv to give off to employers ? I first took a look at the vibe that I want my portfolio to give, since I am including my portfolio in with CV I want my brands image to me linked and consistent.
I then brainstormed ideas of the types of things that I want my CV and cover letters to show about me as a person and designer. I know this is hard as it is only a written document and in person interviews is where they get to see your personality but the way I design this and they way I present myself on paper is the first step, I have control of how they view my cv. Therefore I want to present myself in the best light as possible.
Reflection
This was a beneficial task for my to complete and I am glad I did it. This has made me more self aware and has inspired some design ideas for my written documents. How can I do this? In order to show my personality I can talk about my skills in my cv and they will be able to see my some of the words above with my language and how I write it, as well as the design and layout I choose for my documents. I will take this information and new decisions and I will have them in mind when I am designing my CV and cover letter.
