Sometimes I don’t even know what to add to my CV, what projects do you guys choose to keep or get rid of?

I've never really done it any formal way, but I generally think in terms of what project had the most prestige or name recognition. And something else, if it applies, would be projects that required the use of the latest gear or tech. We can't think of a resume as a memoir, but rather an indication that we can launch into something else tomorrow and be totally equipped to handle it.

Yeah I try to keep the most relevant work on there but it’s hard when a lot of the work you’ve done is relevant!

I always go about the job posting. I leave in my resume anything relevant to the posting. Try using as many relevant keywords in the posting as possible to help the ATS system, then focus on demonstrating that you have what they want.

Uhumm.. Usually works very well!

I think it's good to show the projects that furthered your skills or interests and how you excelled in that, but of course cater that to the job. E.g "helped delivered over 500 assets as part of [ ] campaign which in-turn brought in [ ] or developed my skills in [ ] software.

If it's a little project that didn't make much differece to yourself or your current work, don't include it.

Yeah true! It’s good to keep the most relevant stuff in there but something impressive can also stand out!

As a Professional Audio Engineer and a founder of a Recruitment Company I can tell you that your CV needs to be customised to fit the role you're applying for. Even if you're applying for a position within the Entertainment industry, it will still need to fit the Job Description of the position.
You know what, feel free to reach out to me if you are in need help in getting your CV done. Don't worry about anything in regards of payment or whatsoever. Let's sort your CV out and hopefully you land a job soon buddy!

Thank you very much mate! I’ll reach out soon!

I struggle to keep it to one page- I have to remove some projects that I want on there. I’ve made a separate credits list in case employers want to see.

I think 2 pages are fine? I usually do 2 anyway, I feel like it looks a bit less busy but more than 2 and it might be getting too long.
