Budget Management for the Arts
IN A NUTSHELL
Wanted to change industries, needed a CV that told a better story.
The Challenge
Daniel wanted to transition from one industry to another. He needed help highlighting the job skills he had that could translate when changing careers.
​
Daniel had been working in the nonprofit world for a while and was looking to make a change to the financial services industry. He was eager to use his budget management experience but was unsure how to play up his job skills in a way that would attract employers. His original CV simply didn’t give recruiters a good idea of his career goals.
"My writer was able to pull out a better story. When I saw the skills that she highlighted for me, I was able to think, ‘Oh right, I am good at that."
How We Helped
Daniel bought the Elite CV package, which includes a CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile optimisation and unlimited revisions. He was paired with a professional CV writer, Angela, who worked with him to:
​
-
Figure out which job skills would be most valuable in her target career field.
-
Highlight these job skills throughout her professional summary and work experience.
-
Added proper keywords to ensure his CV would pass the ATS algorithms.
"With the new CV, I feel more confident. I’m not great at talking about myself or promoting myself so it was great to have someone else do that."
