While my original CV sums me up well in terms of my work experience and qualifications, I wrote it as a CV suitable for applying for any job with. When it comes to applying for jobs within the animation industry, the information that my CV needs to contain differs somewhat. I've created a new CV which I would be able to send to animation companies with the sole purpose of applying for jobs in my preferred area. I took the relevant information from my original CV, such as my qualifications and my contact details, and added what I believe is information that would help me land a job in animation. I thought it was important to include a section on the type of person I am, and sell why I would be suited to the job. Introducing the picture of myself is purely to put a face to my name, in hope of improving the chances of my CV being remembered. I also included further contact details, to my linked in profile and my website as they'd both be relevant to any potential employers in this particular industry. I kept this CV to one page as I know for jobs as an animator recruiters would have hundreds of CV's to look through, so it's important for them to see everything they need to know immediately, before they move on to the next applicant.
