CV as a Promo Campaign

Anastasiya Nurzhynska, Communication Specialist at EU-Eastern Partnership Culture and Creativity Programme, try to view one’s personal image as an information campaign.

Communication professionals know how to best promote their customers’ products and services. What can you borrow from them to promote your professional portfolio? Let us try to view one’s personal image as an information campaign.

1. Situation analysis

Start with your dream job. Put the requirements for this job in one column and indicate in the other how you satisfy each of these requirements. This will help you find out which areas you need to develop.
