Presume, My Original CV on Prezi

Presume, the original CV on Prezi

I have always thought about doing something different, but that meant that I had to leave my comfort zone and that’s not always easy.

So I decided to leave my comfort zone and move to another country, develop my English and experience a different culture. I soon realized that I would need a new approach for standing out in the crowd. And that became my goal to achieve.

I consider myself an out-of-the-box thinker, even though I spent a lot of time tailoring a standard CV, I felt that it was so impersonal, dull and simply not engaging. With the technological evolution of the Internet and the failing economy, I needed something more visual that would keep the employers reading and wanting to know more.

The CV is the best personal marketing tool, my goal was clear: make an original CV that captures the reader’s attention and curiosity, then tell my story, who I am, where I come from and what I am pursuing.

I have seen some “creative” CVs before, but it’s always by graphic designers. What about people looking for jobs outside that field? I’m a marketer and I believe this tool could be useful for me as well.

I’ve managed to create my CV as I used to do with a proper product or service. I made up my own marketing plan, answering questions such as; who I am, what I do, who is my target, and how do I plan to get their attention. It’s a combination of a good planning and execution. Let me add, selling oneself is not easy at all.

I’m not sure if this will work but, I am happy because I’m doing my best to get my dream job. I would be more disappointed if I didn’t.

Hope you enjoy it:
