Episode description

We typically tend to think of CVs as something you use in order to get your next permanent role - but what about freelancers? Do they need a CV too? Many say no, and want to move away from the CV to simply showing clients an online portfolio instead. But there are cases you'll be asked for a CV (especially if you do agency work) and it's a good idea to have one ready to send. In this short episode, we chat about:

+ What freelancer CVs are
+ How they differ from traditional CVs
+ Creating a freelancer CV for yourself
+ Design, sections, tone of voice
+ What else you need to know
