When looking for a new job, your CV is one of the most important tools you have in your arsenal. With so many qualified candidates vying for the same position, it’s important to create a CV that will get you noticed. A well-crafted CV can help you stand out from the competition and land an interview. But crafting a CV that makes an impact can be tricky. In this post, we’ll share some tips on how to make an impactful CV that will catch the interviewer’s attention. Keep reading for more information!

Make sure to tailor your CV to each position

Most job seekers simply submit the same resume for every job they apply to. However, this isn’t the most effective way to go about things. If you want to increase your chances of landing a job, you should take the time to tailor your resume to each individual job application. This means tweaking your resume so that it emphasizes the skills and qualifications that are most relevant to the position you’re applying for. It may require a bit more effort, but it’s worth it if it means getting your dream job.

Use a CV creator

A CV creator can help you to think about the different aspects of your experience and skills that you might want to highlight, and can also provide guidance on how to best present this information.

If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to writing your CV, using a CV creator can be a great way to get started.

Include numbers to quantify your experience

When applying for jobs or internships, it is always beneficial to include as many quantifiable experiences as possible. This can help set you apart from other candidates and show employers that you have the specific skills and experience required for the role.

Including concrete numbers and examples can also make your resume or application more impressive and persuasive. So, if you have relevant experience, be sure to mention how many people you supervised, what percentage increase you helped generate, or what goals you were able to achieve.

Ensure that your CV is filled with relevant keywords

When you’re writing your CV, make use of relevant keywords that will help you stand out to potential employers. Choosing the right keywords can make all the difference in whether or not you get called in for an interview.

Some tips for choosing keywords:

– tailor your keywords to each specific job you’re applying for

– try to use industry-specific jargon to show that you’re knowledgeable and up-to-date on trends

– focus on key qualities that are essential for the role you want

With so many CVs to choose from, relevant keywords can be the difference between getting an interview and being overlooked.

Be sure to proofread your CV

When writing your CV, be sure to proofread your CV carefully. This will help ensure that it is free of any typos or other errors. Even a small mistake can make a bad impression on potential employers. So take the time to proofread your CV before sending it out.

If you’re familiar at all with my story, you know that my voice over coach was instrumental in my advancing so quickly in the voiceover world. I really can’t imagine how my career would have gone without her. So yes, I always recommend that aspiring voice actors work with a coach.

 

And I’m not alone. Ask 100 successful voice actors if they’ve had coaching and I bet 99 of them will not only say yes, they will go on and on about how they wouldn’t be as successful without coaching.

 

That said, there are so many resources available now, that it is possible to start booking work as a voice talent without a personal voice over coach. In fact, there are a few successful voice actors who have never had any coaching at all. This is incredibly rare, but again… it’s possible.

 

Establishing a successful voiceover career takes time, even with a coach. If you choose to go the non-coaching route, you will need a double dose of discipline, and you will need patience, mountains worth.

 

I get asked frequently about how new VOs can get their feet wet without hiring a personal coach first thing. Here are some tips to point you in the right direction.

1.  Hit record

The most important thing you can do on your mission to break into voiceover is to practice and get to know your voice. For example,male voice actors tend to have a deep voice.To do this, pick up any kind of recording device — your iPhone, your computer’s internal mic, etc. — and just read. Billboards, magazine ads and radio/TV commercials all work great as practice scripts. Record yourself and then listen back. How did that feel? Exciting!? A little strange? Goofy? Fun!? No one has to know you are in your closet reading practice scripts to yourself all alone. Try it. Just have fun with it. No pressure.

2.  Study the pros

The most obvious aspect of voice acting is talking. But to be truly good, you also need to be a good listener. So make a point to start listening to commercials (or whatever kind of work you would like to voice). Fast-forward through TV shows  to get to the ads. Change the radio station when the music comes on so you can listen to the commercials. Take note of trends or other things that you notice in the various mediums. How are TV commercials different from radio? Which spots do you relate to most and why?

3.  .See where you fit in

As you’re listening to commercials, e-learning, animation, etc., pay special attention to spots that you feel you can hear yourself doing. You may feel that you know where your voice fits into the VO world, and maybe you do. But I know that for me, and for most voice actors, it took some time to really get a feel for what my “wheel house” was.

 

Your initial interest might not be the genre you end up working in most. Keep an open mind to other voice over options. (This is another area a good coach will come in handy later for you. A good coach will be able to guide you to the genre of voice acting you will be most likely to find success with.)

4.  Rub shoulders with your peers

It is important for you to stay up to date on the industry, and since you don’t have a personal coach (yet), you’ll want to utilize online groups and forums as much as possible to get advice, recommendations, feedback and answers to any questions you couldn’t find through research. You can learn how to get started in voice acting.

5.  Get good equipment

I’ve got a great voice over equipment guide that explains everything you’ll need to get started. From mics to software, sound treatments, invoicing solutions and more. Good equipment isn’t needed to start practicing, but it is needed to book the kind of jobs that pay well. And the good news is you don’t have to break the back to get good equipment. I recorded national radio campaigns with a $100 mic in my closet before I upgraded to more professional gear. I made tens of thousands of dollars with that $100 mic. Don’t let the equipment part of the voice acting equation stump you. Check out my list of recommendations, grab some gear and learn, grow, and update along the way.

6.  Get a voice over demo

Even though you made it this far without a coach, this may be the step you want to drop some cash on. It will serve you very well to have a professionally produced demo to shop out to clients and agents. A good sound engineer will be able to make you sound your best, but ideally, your coach would advise you as to which spots to include on your demo, and perhaps even direct you during your demo recording session. Even the order in which the spots appear on the demo matters more than you might think.

 

If you’re a real DIYer, at least run your demo decisions by a group of trusted voice actors in one of the online groups or forums you joined.

 

*Note: There are very few situations–perhaps zero–in which I would advocate for a voiceover talent self-producing a demo. You’d have to have first been a VO coach and demo producer before becoming a voice talent for me to advise that. Especially if it’s a demo you’re planning on shopping to agents. So proceed at your own risk here!

7.  Do your own marketing

I mentioned using your own marketing efforts to get work. Really, this is something every voice actor should be dedicating at least some of their time to, especially in the beginning. There are many ways to reach out to potential clients. You can call up local car dealerships or other companies that you know produce their own commercials. You can call up production companies and media companies. Reach out to e-learning developers. And if you’ve got a killer demo, reach out to agents.

 

Agents and managers will be more interested in taking you on as a client if you are already booking work on your own. This proves to them that your voice is in demand in the marketplace and that you are willing to work hard.

 

Also, if you’re just interested in getting experience and are less concerned about making money, there are a lot of places where you can volunteer.

 

I will caution you not to make a habit of giving away your voiceover services for free. It’s one thing to volunteer for a good cause or to gain experience, but it’s another thing to do free work for a company that should be paying you because you want the job. If you feel tempted to take a job that doesn’t pay because the company doesn’t have a budget or will just find someone else, consider whether they would ever propose such an offer to their other employees. Voiceover is a fun job, but it’s still a job, and it’s still work. Aside from volunteer opportunities, you deserve to be paid for your work.

8.  Get out there!

You can always book jobs through your own marketing efforts. I booked hundreds of jobs that I landed through my personal marketing efforts before I started reaching out to agents and eventually joined the Actors Union.

 

But one of the fastest ways to get a lot of practice and experience fast is to join a pay-to-play site. Note which jobs you’re getting short-listed for, and when you start getting hired, note what kinds of jobs you’re booking so you can begin cultivating your voiceover brand.

 

Here’s a few recommended pay-to-play sites:

 

• com
• com
• com
• com

9.  Voice over training online

Another resource I’ve created for new voice actors is my online membership. It’s called The Voice Over Success Intensive and it’s the perfect place to dip your toes into the world of voice acting. Again, not a substitute for coaching, but a perfect place to learn more about the voice over industry, ask questions, and get support along the way.

 

Hopefully, I’ve laid out a convincing argument for why you need a coach to be successful in this business. But if you do choose to go rogue and tackle the world of voiceover without a coach, I want to hear from you! Leave a comment to let me know you’re going to go for it so I can follow along with you. If you’re already in the middle of things, let me know how it’s going.

 

Thank you for your reading.Good Luck!

Cbd isn’t as safe as you might thinking. THC in cannabis may prove to be too overwhelming. Let’s introduce you to delta-8, a new market contender that’s rapidly gaining popularity.

If we ranked these three substances by their strength, delta-8 -THC would rank between cbd and THC. Finest labs as well as zone 52 were among the top hemp brands that invested heavily in their delta 8 product range. However, there are still questions. Is delta-8-thc legal? What if you tried to bring it on a plane with you? Is it, like cbd, considered a regular dietary supplement?

If you are curious about all of this, you have come to the right place. This article will answer all your questions concerning the legality, or delta-8.

What is delta-8th-c?

As its name suggests delta-8-thc (or THC) is another form. Regular THC is also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or in short, delta-9. It is safe to assume that these substances are also similar because of their names.

Like cbd or delta-9-thc in cannabis, delta-8 can affect your body’s endocrinoid system. The effects of the three substances are quite similar, but delta-8 and 9 would likely have more in common. Cbd may help you fall asleep or get sleepy, but you won’t feel high from it. But, delta-8 or delta-9-thc can.

It isn’t surprising since their structures are very similar. Both possess a double bond in the molecules of their molecules. This is thought to be responsible for the intoxicating effects of euphoria. The bond’s location in the molecules of delta-8 and delta-9 is different. It’s on the eighth carbon whereas it’s at the ninth.

The reason delta-8 THC isn’t nearly as potent as regular marijuana is because of that. This may be a good thing. It will give you the same euphoric and exciting feelings as delta-9, but without any of the negative effects. Paranoia is one of the side effects of ingesting delta-8.

Delta-8-thc – when should you take it?

Like delta-9-thc and professionally produced delta-8, can be used both for medicinal or recreational purposes. When you are suffering from chronic pain, anxiety or depression, delta-8 could help. You won’t feel the need to get too high with delta-8.

The delta-8 vape is also a great option if your goal is to simply relax after a long, tiring day. Take your vape or gummies with you and forget about all of your worries for just a few minutes!

Side effects of delta-8thc

Like regular THC in effects, delta-8-thc is similar to the ones we described, but only slightly milder. The effects of delta-8-thc include happiness, euphoria, and lightheadedness. You may also feel pain relief or insomnia relief. What side effects might you experience from this substance and what are they? Is it safe for consumption?

The effects of delta-9 may be similar to a dry mouth and red eyes. All of these effects will be much less severe than when you smoke marijuana. Therefore, you can feel safe using delta-8-thc.

In conclusion

Delta-8 THC is a relatively new drug on the market if you interested in purchase you can look in on any nearby delta shop. There’s much to learn and many benefits. Laws still have a lot of work to do regarding delta-8’s legality. We are hopeful that it will eventually attain the same status like cbd.

It’s extremely safe and enjoyable, however. If it’s legal in your state, you should give it another shot.

 

 

When you are purchasing a car or a truck, especially if it is your first car ever that you are buying, then there are a lot of changes that you will be ripped by the car dealer. Especially, if you are about to take out the truck that you want to buy on loan, and you are also taking out that loan from the car dealer and not any bank, then there will be an even higher chance of scam. This is why it is so important that you should be extremely aware of things that are related to the purchasing of a car when you go to the car dealer to get a car. The reason is that the business owners such as the car dealer will try their best to get the most profit out of you by all means possible.

This is why in order to save all that money that they want to scam out of you, you need to be extra vigilant and you need to beware of their cheating ways. How you can do that is something that is not very easy to figure out and there is no foolproof solution to this at all, but here are a few things that you can do to avoid getting cheated.

Do not purchase in the peak season:

The one thing that you need to avoid when you are thinking of buying a car is to buy the car when the season is off and not in the peak season. This is because there is a time when the car dealers will make sure that they sell you the car that gets them the most profit. So, whenever, the car season is on the low, that is the time that you need to go ahead and make your purchase.

Do your research beforehand:

Another thing that you need to take care of is the fact that you do your proper research before you even go to the car dealership. This research is not just of the type of car you want to purchase and to look up its name and design. You also need to know about the selling price of the car that you want to buy, look for the features of the car that you want to buy, also figure put the payment method that you are going to employ whether you are taking out a loan or not Etc. If you are purchasing the car on loan, then you also need to find out what type of loan will be best suitable for you and you need to decide on your repayment method as well.

No locksmith issue

It doesn’t matter what truck or car you purchase, if you accidently get locked out then you can hire the Truck Lockout Service. So don’t get swayed in your decision due to such small thing.

Exchange your car, do not sell:

This is something that a lot of people who are not aware of the automobile world do not know. When you are wanting to sell your car to get a new one from the dealer, always go for exchanging the car and do not sell the car for cash.

Cheaper Houses, But Harder to Buy

Although there has been a recent upswing in property sales following the lockdown, many estate agents now predict that we will soon see a slump which could continue for many months. In the weeks following the reopening of the market, house prices have increased, but government forecasters predict that they will then fall significantly, with a drop of 11% expected by the end of next year. The prospect of cheaper houses may sound like a positive development for first-time buyers, but unfortunately there are other factors at play.

The latest information on the housing market shows some changes that are sure to affect first-time buyers in particular. Some lenders have moved the goal posts, meaning that would-be homeowners now need more of a deposit in order to secure a mortgage. For those who have been left unemployed and forced to live off savings during the lockdown, the prospect of saving yet more for a deposit is likely to be a considerable challenge. Additionally, people who now find themselves needing to move for new jobs will be spending large amounts on relocation.

The stamp duty “holiday” announced by the UK government will also be of little benefit to most first-time buyers. Those looking to purchase their first home had typically looked at houses that fell below the threshold. However, those looking to buy in London or other expensive areas could make savings. Keeping abreast of the market is important, with the latest information available via sites such as https://www.samconveyancing.co.uk/news/housing-market-report.

Whilst the “Bank of Mum and Dad” is no longer a viable option for those looking to take out a mortgage with Nationwide, other lenders have not followed their lead in restricting parental contributions. First-time buyers with stable jobs may even have succeeded in increasing their savings pot whilst stuck indoors during the lockdown and may even benefit from the current housing trends.
