C.V

I have gone through and updated my job specific CV that is for the purpose of photography jobs. The reason that i have put updating my CV on my personal development plan is because i feel that have a good, strong CV is vital when applying for photography jobs, the employer needs to know exactly what I can offer to them and the experiences I have up to this points, they need to get the best idea of what I am about and that can be seen in my CV.

I have made a few tweaks and changed to the CV that i already had for photography work, I have added in some new information and experiences that I feel make me stronger and a person due to the experiences i have had.
