Following on from my recent thread, I am relaunching myself as a "proper" copywriter. As part of that I have re-jigged my website. reinvigorated my rates and pulled up my socks.
Next on the list is a cv/portfolio. I want to pitch myself to advertising, digital agencies to try and get writing work. Plus I might want a document I can send out to prospective private clients.
I am willing to pay for a good CV as I don't have any design skills. But just don't know what to include, how to word it, what it should look like.
I love the infographic style, but feel this might be overdone.
The fact is that I turn 41 tomorrow (!) and feel that the last five years of copywriting is the career direction I should have taken when I was 20 - but instead I did something completely different (finance). i also had 7 years as a SAHM and 3 years as a receptionist...
How on earth do I show what I have done on one cohesive and interesting page.
I have a portfolio on my website so can link to that - but should my CV show examples?
I want to wow people. but feel very underwhelmed at my achievements.
