Crew CV's

CV stands for curriculum vitae. It is a summary of your experience, skills and education. A CV is used to apply for a job and shows the employers all the experience you have.

Customising a CV is very important and the main 2 things you need to include is that you need to put down the specific courses down and the skills involved for the job you are applying for.

Another thing to make sure you do is if you are applying for something to do with distribution do not say you are a trained cameraman because they will not hire you.

CV rules according to MFJC
Always customise your CV and need use a 'general' CV.
Remove all irrelevant information including film experiences that are in the different area of the business.
Repeat the job title in the CV.
Remove your address.
The most important pieces of information go at the top of the CV.
Think what the employer wants and give what they want.
Don't put so much information on the CV.
Be humble.
Keep the file size small so you don't receive spam on your email.
Save your CV as "your name - the job title - company's name".

If you want to be a runner make sure your CV screams out at the employer and make the information relevant for the job role. You may not have experience but some recruiters look for individuals who have little experience.

Specialise

The single worst thing you can do what writing a CV is that you cannot say that you are looking for experience in all aspects of the industry because they will just throw the CV away. They want to hire someone who wants to exceeds in any aspect of the industry.

Example CV's
The advice given to make these CV's is that research about the job role and production you are going for and repeat the title of the job throughout.
