A Resource for Your CV - MyCreativeType.com : I've recently discovered this website, MyCreativeType.com by Adobe Create, where after answering some straightforward "this or that" type of questions, they'll inform you that you're one of 8 types of Creators. I found it to be quite accurate in my case. But what I especially liked were the strengths, descriptions, and adjectives that I could potentially see using in a CV. Read on for more information... |

There are 8 Creative Types; Below I've copied only a snippet of the information for each one. I'll start with the one I got: The Producer - "The PRODUCER is the quintessential doer of all the creative types. People-oriented, analytical, pragmatic, and dynamic, you have a highly creative nature that’s balanced by a grounded realism and “get it done” attitude. In your eyes, an idea has real value only when it’s turned into something that others can enjoy and benefit from." The Artist - "As an ARTIST, you need to create in order to feel truly alive. Full of ideas and visions, you’re driven by the desire to express yourself and transform the world around you." The Thinker - "For the THINKER, the examined life is truly the only one worth living. Ever the perpetual student, you experience the world as an endless opportunity for learning, discovery, and truth-seeking." The Adventurer - "There’s no telling where the impassioned creative quest and endless curiosity of the ADVENTURER may lead. Fueled by high energy levels and boundless enthusiasm, you’re easily inspired—and more than willing to follow your fascinations wherever they take you." The Maker - "Driven, focused, and dedicated to the creative process, the MAKER has mastered the art of manifesting ideas and visions in three-dimensional form. Society greatly benefits from the work of MAKER types, who develop the systems, structures, tools, and innovations that the rest of us rely on." The Dreamer - "The world is a place of beauty and magic in the eyes of a DREAMER. Where others see facts and figures, you see symbols, metaphors, and hidden meanings." The Innovator - "The INNOVATOR sees everything through the lens of possibilities and progress, problems and solutions. You feel the most yourself when you’re using your intellectual and creative powers to solve problems and dream up new and improved ways of doing things. Your attention is largely focused on the world around you, and you’re constantly probing its structures and systems to find ways to push things forward." The Visionary - "You live in a world of infinite possibilities, preferring to see things not as they are but as they could be. The VISIONARY knows that life is limited only by the boundaries of your own beliefs, and you’re driven to push the limits of, well, everything."
I highly recommend seeing how accurate your quiz results are and then if so, see how you could use any of their descriptors in your CV to highlight your strengths. As Adobe Creator nailed my description: I'm highly goal-oriented and results-driven with a strong work ethic, and I could be working with you on your job search! I would help create a new CV and cover letter for you, as well as meeting you in a video call for the next steps in your job search. From veteran international educators to new-to-teaching candidates, my clients hire me for that extra support when faced with recruiting for an overseas job.
