Great Fireside, thank you so much Kamila Novak for sharing your “CV” as an example of how to structure for independent consulting, and for providing this template for others to use!  I put CV in quotes because it is almost a combination of a consulting practice brochure and and a CV.  The use of infographics is brilliant!  This is exactly the information hiring entities want to know, and yet, by following conventional CV methodology, we force hiring entities to read through narrative text and extrapolate.  In retrospect, that’s not a great idea!  Combined with the fact that a CV is entirely a human resources artifact born from the 1950s and largely unchanged since then, it makes a lot of sense to consider another approach.  GREAT stuff, thank you!

Fireside announcement:

The curriculum vitae is a corporate tool, intended to summarize job descriptions of full time employees.  In many ways, the traditional approach to CV writing may not convey an independent consultant’s value clearly and provocatively.   For example, CVs are intended to show a progression up the corporate ladder, the strong assumption is an ambition for a similar or higher than the last title listed.  But titles, positions and job descriptions are irrelevant to most independent consultants.

This Fireside explores several thought provoking examples of different approaches to the independent consultant CV.
