Digital Media 2019-2021 James Murphy

Written work is also included within the blog and evidence of books and exam units in the correct tabs.    Some elements are yet to be uploaded due to difficulty of access to school files studying at home as a consequence from the pandemic.

  LO1.2 - What is the best CV? My Personal CV  CV stands for ' curriculum vitae ' and is a formal document that features your qualifications, education, previous employment and some facts about you that makes you stand out from the rest. This document is a vital part of your life as it is what represents you and allows you to venture into the world of work.
