Title.

I have a lot of skills I use in my hobbies and helping others out, I study tech shit, physical\digital art and other languages, but my current employment is so basic it doesn't need any of these things. And I have no in-paper proof I know them.

While writing my CV, I feel pretty lost. My position doesn't say anything at all, and I don't know how to show I have experience editing photoes, sound and video in Adobe, coding shit in different languages when it's needed.

Do you have some guides to write a good CV? Or how to write in your occasional works in unrelated fields?

upd: One fucking doctor in my field asked me why I'm still there with all things I did they know about. I didn't know what to answer.

upd2: Thank you Lemmers, you rock.

Nah, bullshit, I’m not unemployed. The entire point of a resume is to give you a clear, concise summary of my abilities. You want more details? Ask questions.

Fuck your cover letter.

Fuck your “one way interviews”

That’s bullshit. I work too. Im looking for opportunities, not companies that design their application processes to cater to the people desperate enough to waste 1hr+ of their time for the chance for an actual interview.

Fuck that and fuck you too.
