We typically tend to think of CVs as something you use in order to get your next permanent role - but what about freelancers? Do they need a CV too? Many say no, and want to move away from the CV to simply showing clients an online portfolio instead. But there are cases you'll be asked for a CV (especially if you do agency work) and it's a good idea to have one ready to send. In this short episode, we chat about: + What freelancer CVs are + How they differ from traditional CVs + Creating a freelancer CV for yourself + Design, sections, tone of voice + What else you need to know
