Task 1A: Professional Profile

The dictionary defines Curriculum Vitae as:
"a short written description of your education, qualifications,previous jobs, and sometimes also your personal interests, that you send to an employer when you are trying to get a job."

So, simple right?

I wouldn't agree so much. As I myself believe there is quite a bit of pressure when writing a CV. What do you include? What don't you include? Should I write this in 1st or 3rd person? The list is kind of endless.

Therefore I am finding myself constantly changing my CV, the format, the words, the experience I have. So when I saw this task on the course I thought it has given me an opportunity to edit my CV, again. I decided to make it a lot simpler than my old one, however I will come back to this at a later date to put my experiences of what I have learned from this course to use, and see how much it differs.

Who knows I may even surprise myself?!

Objective
To be lucky enough to live a life full of experience, inspiration and success. To be able to reminisce at the end of life reassured that I have worked with many fantastic people from who I could share my time with and learn from, to have collaborated with countless artists on numerous projects, to have been able to constantly broaden my horizons with influence from various cultures, performances and opportunities. Through these experiences I hope to become a successful dance artist where I would perform, create, manage and eventually own my own dance company. After expanding my knowledge and skills I look to gain a master’s degree in my chosen endeavour.

First Week Back!

Hi all,  So summer is officially over, and I think the weather is definitely reminding us of that!  During the summer I had a lot of free time, so I was researching and planning for the year ahead, as well as going along to so many interviews for new job opportunities to help develop my career.  As this was the first week back at university it was time to put my plans to practice. I must admit I have struggled having such a huge gap between modules but I am now feeling ready and replenished to give Module 3 my all!  Let's get going! I am now working in 2 different stage schools, one is definitely more community based. Alongside this I am still working for the same dance company where I teach all ages from 3-100 years old (and that is no exaggeration). They have also offered me office work within their company which is amazing as I can learn what goes on 'behind the scenes' when running your own company. I have also signed up to 2 diffe...

Skype Chat - Last Week

After a frustrating week of being unable to access my blogspot (amongst other things) I am now back!  So last week, I had a Module 3 skype chat with Helen, Gonzalo, Hannah, Alisha and Eleanor. This was very helpful, as we got to talk with one another and see where we were and where we were heading.  I'll be honest, it was quite quiet at times, as I find it's hard to have a conversation with people you can't actually see! But with Helens help and a little probing, once we got onto a conversation, it really started to flow.  It was very useful hearing about others techniques when it comes to their tools for the inquiry. I think most, if not all of us are doing interviews, and with the fact that I have recently had to edit my inquiry's purpose (for the better) it was great to hear how others have been doing!  A lot of their points I have written down, including the most important point which is not to ask them a closed question. With my inquiry I want and...

Good News!

This is just a quick blog... So today I had a meeting with one of the companies I work for. It was really good, full of so much information and was lovely to see the team altogether as we don't get to do this often. One of my colleagues did a short presentation on 'Phonics' which was fantastic and has lead me to so many new ideas!  But that is not the best of it. Each year they select 4 members of staff to win teacher of the year, and I was one of them! I am so thrilled to be nominated! I nearly cried! It just goes to show, that the harder you work the more you get rewarded. I'm not sure if I'll win as I'm up against some great contenders, but just to be nominated makes me feel so proud!  So that's my good news of today!  Chow Chow
