Video CV test shots
in this test shot, im talking to my laptop whilst recording the video cv!
and in this second test shot, this is what the video would look like when i eventually shoot it.
Video CV #1
For the first CV draft, i felt like i was rushing it to the point where i was talking too fast and that was because i was initially anxious and i was also doing this for the first time. i feel like when it comes to me, my interests, and just experience in general I don't know how to describe it as well as i know it in my brain which leads me to scramble a lot and use buzzwords. But i will work on that for future drafts to come and the official video CV.
The feedback on my presentation was generally positive. The audience liked the cozy atmosphere, clear audio, strong lighting, and background music, which created a good vibe. They also appreciated how I discussed my experiences, skills, achievements, influences, values, and the lessons I learned from my projects. However, I need to lower the volume of the music so that it does not distract from my voice, slow down my speech, and speak more clearly because I spoke too quickly at times. I also need to stop spinning and fidgeting in my chair, as this distracted the audience. To improve my presentation further, I could include personal anecdotes to explain where my skills and influences came from, as well as add photos or evidence of my projects to demonstrate the quality of my work.

CV HEADSHOTS
I inititally chose this headshot but wanted to take some more. I like this but i personally didn't like my hair.
I looked way too angry in the CV photo. I was concentrating on getting the framing right, to be fair this was the first photo i took out of all of them and i was just testing the waters.

CV mockup.
I chose a plain, simple style for my CV because I wanted it to look professional. Keeping the design uncluttered lets my skills and experience speak for themselves. When it comes to the summary, I wanted to talk about how driven I am this makes me want to highlight on how i always aim for strong results and want the best out of my work. Looking back at my work experience section, I noticed inaccuracies such as spelling mistakes, which I corrected before moving on to the education bit. I feel like i should've included a lot more information on the history of my education like my IGCSE's and more. I wanted to revamp the additional information section because there were also error when it came to talking about the giveaway entries, i had that there were 7k+ giveaway entries but then quickly said that there were 5k+ in the additional information section. This mistake makes me want to always evaluate my CV before sending it to anybody.
Personal feedback
Audience members described my CV as very professional, compact, and tidy, praising the detail in my work experience, including my internship, my professional photo, and the Additional Information section that adds a personal touch. The main suggestions were to add more color or a more creative, captivating design, include hobbies and interests, list my GCSE subjects, and make the Skills heading bigger so it stands out as its own section.
