A lot of you might be looking for jobs. This video might help you think about your CV.

Obviously it's highly technical and specialised. There's no point copying it word for word. Think about WHAT I tried to do, WHY, and HOW I did it.

(Tip: watch the video below it first.)

This is the prequel video that explains the background of WHY the CV was structured that way, and why it got me to interviews and ultimately into a steady stream of contracts.
