Crafting Your Profile

All about Creative CVs for New Interns

Many skills and expertise are difficult to demonstrate through written text alone. CVs that show off your creativity and initiative are more likely to be read than those that simply list your qualifications. Particularly in highly competitive fields with many applicants submitting CVs on a whim, these can make your application stand out from the crowd. We will tell you all about creative CVs in this article.

All about Creative CVs for New Interns
“When Janice submitted her CV at an Ad Agency, her CV got shortlisted without much delay. Reason? She had a Creative CV that wasn’t just text, text, text, but included some graphics, some visuals, some images signifying her qualifications and skills. It was innovative, hence caught the eye of recruiters quickly.”

The concept of Creative CVs includes displaying your skills, talent, experience and credentials in ways other than simply words. As the name suggests, this variant of the standard CV style encourages creativity. They are used to applying for positions in the fields of art, design, VFX, and technology, and are meant to showcase the applicant's creative abilities. They can be in formats like:

•    Infographics
•    Video CVs
•    Digital Portfolios
•    Personal Websites
•    Visual Arts
•    Sample Inclusive


What are the Advantages of Creative CV?
1.    Inventive: It’s something new. If you put the right content on it, along with the visuals, it’s actually a piece of art that would help you stand out from rest of the candidates.

2.    Time Saving: All those words, and typing takes up a lot of time. Adding some visuals or simply creating a video CV saves a lot of time.

3.    No Formatting Hassle: A video CV or a digital portfolio would not require any particular placement of ideas, since it would be devoid of any written content, hence formatting efforts become zero.

4.    Looks Impressive: Just like Janice, your CV if made with creative awareness can fetch you that internship right after your graduation. All you have to do is, be a little tech and design savvy, and your work is done.

5.    Data driven and Simple: Data and graphs are everything. Including your work experience and skills meter in a graphical form will make it very simple to go through. The employer won’t have to think twice about your candidature. It’s sure going to get shortlisted.

One must keep in mind that traditional CVs are not dead, hence using a creative CV might not work in every industry. A lot of industries or job roles still require the paper format of the CV so a copy of that format must also be kept ready. Graduatewise.com, the marketplace for candidates to associate with employers, provides these amazing features of uploading Video CV, Digital Portfolio, textual CV creation, and much more to the candidates, which makes their life really easy.

The world pays more attention to anything pleasing to the eye, instead of having to make efforts to read so many words. And since candidates are sure to attain great education, why not invest in creating a selection worthy CV too? The last year of your studies can be easily invented in learning more about tools to help you create an Impactful CV. So get up and going if you want immediate internships after your graduation.
