Today we were visited by someone (I forget her name!) from the Careers and Employment Centre. To be honest, I was stressed out outside of Unitec, the last thing I wanted to do was attend class. But I did and I regretted it. It was really boring. The worst thing that can happen for me when I’m stressed out, needing to get things done, is to get stuck in a boring class or traffic jam. Not that it was the fault of Sara or the person taking the class from Careers, it just wasn’t what I needed to focus on at that particular time. I needed to get back to Saatchi & Saatchi to get through the work I’d been assigned for the day. I wrote in my notebook, “this feels like alcoholics anonymous”, not that I’d had anyt experience of those particular meetings.
Having said that, and getting it off my chest, I actually did learn a bit:
The key idea of a CV is to get an invite to an interview. You can structure a CV like so:
- Name, Address, Phone
- Key skills (match these up with the job description)
- Quals
I also found out about some sites that might help with my project and my life in general:
http://www.thebigidea.co.nz/ - online community for creatives
www.writerfind.com/nz - freelance writing site
http://www.freelance2008.co.nz/ - I found out about this conference through the freelance writing site above
http://www.talentonline.co.nz/ – in case I can’t find any actors (I don’t think this will be a problem)
