PROFILE
My career has led me to specialize increasingly in the management of complex multicultural projects and
their staffs at international levels. I have experience in: strategic forward-planning; operating within the
tight financial disciplines imposed by ambitious budgets which I have helped to plan; methodical
administration to deadlines (not to speak of crisis management where necessary); and the application of
modern leadership methods (through staff motivation and involvement in both decision-making and
target-setting, clarity in communication, and easy personal inter-relations). My own cosmopolitan
background and analytical interests in other cultures, together with a command of several European
languages, have also left me confident in handling negotiations that require the reconciliation of different
national approaches to otherwise common problems.
Skills Base
Familiarity with both the artistic and the commercial worlds, the culture of government, and European
regulations
Tested management techniques in both continental and British contexts
Proven leadership and human management skills

When applying for certain positions in the US, as well as jobs internationally, you may be required to
submit a curriculum vitae rather than a resume. A curriculum vitae, or CV, includes more information than
your typical resume, including details of your education and academic achievements, research,
publications, awards, affiliations, and more.
Review sample curriculum vitae, thedifference between a CV and a resume, and tips and advice on how to
write a CV.
What to Include in a Curriculum Vitae
A curriculum vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more detailed synopsis
than a resume. Your CV should be clear, concise, complete, and up-to-date with current employment and
educational information.
The following are examples of information that can be included in your curriculum vitae. The elements that
you include will depend on what you are applying for, so be sure to incorporate the most relevant
information to support your candidacy in your CV.
Personal details and contact information. Most CVs start with contact information and personal data
but take care to avoid superfluous details, such as religious affiliation, children's names and so on.
Education and qualifications. Take care to include the names of institutions and dates attended in
reverse order; PhD, Masters, Undergraduate.
Work experience/employment history. The most widely accepted style of employment record is
the chronological curriculum vitae. Your career history is presented in reverse date order starting with
most recent. Achievements and responsibilities are listed for each role. More emphasis/information should
be put on more recent jobs.
Skills. Include computer skills, foreign language skills, and any other recent training that is relevant to
the role applied for.

What Not to Include
There is no need to include your photo, your salary history, the reason you left your previous position, or
references in your CV.
References should be listed separately and given to employers upon request.
How long should a CV Be?
A good curriculum vitae should ideally cover no more than two pages and never more than three. Aim to
ensure the content is clear, structured, concise and relevant. Using bullet points rather than full sentences
can help minimize word usage.

Curriculum Vitae Writing Tips

Have Several Versions of Your CV
Don't just write one CV and use it for every position you apply for. Have targeted and focused versions of
your curriculum vitae and use them accordingly.
Keep it Short
If possible, try to keep your CV short and concise. Include summaries of your employment and education,
rather than lots of details. Use formal (no slang or abbreviations) and well-written language, writing simply
and clearly.
Tell the Truth
It can be tempting to over-polish a CV and make our educational qualifications or work history sound a
little better than they really are. If you're tempted to stretch the truth about your work history - don't. It
will come back to haunt you.
Most employers conduct reference and background checks and if your curriculum vitae doesn't match your
actual work history or education, you will most likely get caught at some point and you will either not get
the job or will get fired if you have already been hired.
Check the Format
Look at the format of your curriculum vitae, and again, ask someone else to take a look. Is there plenty of
white space? Is it cluttered?
Is your formatting consistent (bold, italic, spacing, etc.) and is the overall picture that your CV provides a
professional and polished one?
Proof Your Curriculum Vitae
Double-check your curriculum vitae for typos and grammatical errors. Then ask someone else to review it
for you - it's often hard to catch our own mistakes.
When to Use a Curriculum Vitae Instead of a Resume
In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used when applying for academic, education, scientific or
research positions. A curriculum vitae can also be used to apply for fellowships or grants. In Europe, the
Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae rather than a resume.
Choose an Appropriate Curriculum Vitae Format
Make sure you choose a curriculum vitae format that is appropriate for the position you are applying for. If
you are applying for a fellowship, for example, you won't need to include the personal information that
may be included in an international CV.

are the details on when to use a CV, what to include, and how to write it.

 10 tips on writing a successful CV
Katy Cowan gives her top tips on creating a memorable and readable CV.
When it comes to applying for a new job, your CV could be just the ticket to get you that initial
foot in the door and secure an interview but how do you ensure your CV is added to the
interview pile rather than thrown straight in the bin?
Putting together a successful CV is easy once you know how. It's a case of taking all your skills
and experience and tailoring them to the job you're applying for. But what if you don't meet the
right criteria? Well, I've put together the following tips to help you get started in creating a
successful CV and securing your first (or next) arts job.
Get the basics right
There is no right or wrong way to write a CV but there are some common sections you should
cover. These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications; work
history and/or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; own interests, achievements or
hobbies; and some references.
Presentation is key
A successful CV is always carefully and clearly presented, and printed on clean, crisp white
paper. The layout should always be clean and well structured and CVs should never be crumpled
or folded, so use an A4 envelope to post your applications.
Always remember the CV hotspot the upper middle area of the first page is where the
recruiter's eye will naturally fall, so make sure you include your most important information
there.
Stick to no more than two pages of A4
A good CV is clear, concise and makes every point necessary without waffling. You don't need
pages and pages of paper you just keep things short and sweet. A CV is a reassurance to a
potential employer, it's a chance to tick the right boxes. And if everything is satisfied, there's a
better chance of a job interview. Also, employers receive dozens of CVs all the time so it's
unlikely they'll read each one cover to cover. Most will make a judgment about a CV within
sections, so stick to a maximum of two pages of A4 paper.
Understand the job description
The clues are in the job application, so read the details from start to finish. Take notes and create
bullet points, highlighting everything you can satisfy and all the bits you can't. With the areas
where you're lacking, fill in the blanks by adapting the skills you do have. For example, if the job
in question requires someone with sales experience, there's nothing stopping you from using any
retail work you've undertaken even if it was something to help pay the bills through university.
It will demonstrate the skills you do have and show how they're transferable.
Tailor the CV to the role
When you've established what the job entails and how you can match each requirement, create
a CV specifically for that role. Remember, there is no such thing as a generic CV. Every CV you
send to a potential employee should be tailored to that role so don't be lazy and hope that a
general CV will work because it won't.
Create a unique CV for every job you apply for. You don't have to re-write the whole thing, just
adapt the details so they're relevant.
Making the most of skills
Under the skills section of your CV don't forget to mention key skills that can help you to stand
out from the crowd. These could include: communication skills; computer skills; team working;
problem solving or even speaking a foreign language. Skills can come out of the most unlikely
places, so really think about what you've done to grow your own skills, even if you take
examples from being in a local sports team or joining a voluntary group it's all relevant.
Making the most of interests
Under interests, highlight the things that show off skills you've gained and employers look for.
Describe any examples of positions of responsibility, working in a team or anything that shows
you can use your own initiative. For example, if you ran your university's newspaper or if you
started a weekend league football team that became a success.
Include anything that shows how diverse, interested and skilled you are. Don't include passive
interests like watching TV, solitary hobbies that can be perceived as you lacking in people skills.
Make yourself sound really interesting.
Making the most of experience
Use assertive and positive language under the work history and experience sections, such as
"developed", "organised" or "achieved". Try to relate the skills you have learned to the job role
you're applying for. For example: "The work experience involved working in a team," or "This
position involved planning, organisation and leadership as I was responsible for a team of
people".
Really get to grips with the valuable skills and experience you have gained from past work
positions, even if it was just working in a restaurant every little helps.
Including references
References should be from someone who has employed you in the past and can vouch for your
skills and experience. If you've never worked before you're OK to use a teacher or tutor as a
referee. Try to include two if you can.
Keep your CV updated
It's crucial to review your CV on a regular basis and add any new skills or experience that's
missing. For example, if you've just done some volunteering or worked on a new project, make
sure they're on there potential employers are always impressed with candidates who go the
extra mile to boost their own skills and experience.
