Creative CVs need to show you understand visual communication, and the creative-cv template signals that immediately. In production, how you present yourself is part of the interview.

The portfolio link appears early because that's what hiring managers want. They'll spend 10 seconds on your CV and 10 minutes on your reel. Make the link easy to find.

View counts matter in digital content. "47M total views" and "3.2M views in first week" show reach. But the Webby Award and Emmy nomination carry more weight because they indicate peer recognition.

Budget management is often overlooked in creative CVs, but it separates producers from editors. "$1.2M annual production budget" shows you can be trusted with resources.

The skills section splits technical (Premiere, DaVinci) from production (pre-pro, post supervision). This reflects how production teams are actually structured.
