WRITING AND UPDATING YOUR CV IS ALWAYS HARD.

 

It takes time. You need to sit down and actually get into it before you do anything and it always takes way more time that you thought it would. I know, I've been there.

That's why I decided to help you a little bit and prepare a free social media CV template that you can use. It is already filled with all the essential bits. Practical skills you probably already have, common responsibilities in this job, platforms you are most likely to use... All the things that actually take the longest to think about when you're getting your CV together.

This template should make the whole process quicker and more bearable. Just download it, read through it, delete the unnecessary bits, fill it with your own details and enjoy!

THIS IS MY FIRST CV HERE, SO LET ME ACTUALLY QUICKLY EXPLAIN WHY I DID THIS ONE FIRST.


I kinda realised at some point that everyone is doing social media at work in some way. Marketing is super obvious, so I'll skip that one. But when I think back to the time I worked as a recruiter I was posting job adverts, doing branding, pasting my company's logo on literally everything I did. One of my friends works in retail and guess what? She has a Facebook update scheduled every week or two with a feature on her store and team that works with her. One of the guys I work with is a freelance designer and don't even get me started on the amount of social media stuff he has to do every day. It's madness!


SO WITH THIS FREE CV TEMPLATE I'M COMING TO THE RESCUE.


It already has skills, tools, work experience that you can relate to in all the right places. There's an excellent layout with social media icons. Just get in there with your info, edit like a pro and you will have your own great little CV in no time. I did my best to make it nice and smooth. You shouldn't spend hours just thinking about the right wording for what you do every day in the office! I made it, so you don't have to.

Just don't forget to double check your details and remove all the bits you don't need.


QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If the formatting doesn't work for you (it is all over the place, everything moved) try editing the template in your Google Docs or try to download Open Office from here

- I used the following fonts: Unica One and Open Sans Condensed. If you have any problems with those (they are not showing up as they should) click on the font's name, download the files and install them by double clicking on them and clicking 'Install font' button on the top left. This should solve it.

- Always save your CV as a .pdf file before you send it out. This will prevent the file from looking weird when the recruiter opens it.
