CV Critique

 
 

Need a pair of extra eyes on your CV?

Perfect if you’re…

  • writing your first CV and aren’t sure if you’re getting it right.

  • updating your CV for a career pivot.

  • looking for advice from someone in your chosen industry.

I’ve worked in publishing in-house for 6 years and as a freelancer in the arts for the last 3 years. I’ve worked as a Social Media Manager and Consultant, Photographer, Video Producer, Workshop Host and also taken part in a wide range of publishing industry-related talks and events during my career.

“Spontaneously messaging Sanne 3 days before my publishing interview was the best thing I ever did. She talked me through the industry, went through my CV, my application and more importantly instilled me with the utmost confidence. She talked through my skillset and made me realise what I have to offer (which to my surprise was plenty).”
