Media CV

Media CV is written by job seekers applying for positions in companies and industries that deal in spreading information, entertainment and news to vast numbers of people through radio, television, newspapers and the Internet. Due to its diversity and the dominance of information in the society, media jobs are always on the increase and jobseekers must always compete to stay relevant in the dynamic market. This involves creativity in writing CVs when applying for jobs, hence the format a job seeker uses in writing a resume matters a great extent to the employer, especially the first impression. There is no specific format to be used in writing a resume, but what is common is that important details should be included in the CV, whichever the format the applicant chooses. These details are included in the following sample:
