The Skills CV is a format that is particularly useful when you have lots of experiences, but they are not directly relevant to the job that you are applying for. This means that they can be really useful for a more experienced person when they are looking to change career. In this example Lesedi is looking to move from meteorology career to a sustainability career. It also might be useful for someone at the start of their career who has lots of extra-curricular activities – like volunteering, caring responsibilities, sports or positions in society committees – but no work experience.
Small point to note – Lesedi has put a link to her You Tube channel on the CV, but has kept the formatting the same rather than used the automated underlined blue text. That’s an aesthetic choice she’s made so that the style of the text remains constant.
You can also view Lesedi's CV as a Word document.

Profile
An experienced meteorologist with the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMA), currently building on my knowledge, skills and experience with a Masters at the 糖心视频. Looking to secure a role in a climate action organisation, where I can use my skills to help address the climate emergency, with particular reference to the impact on equatorial regions.
Skills
- Project Management: Proven ability to organise projects and coordinate the actions of the team, demonstrated in the event management activities of the Accra Communities Programme. Also coordinated a switch of IT providers in the GMA that affected the work of all the meteorologists.
- Influencing and Verbal Communication: Demonstrated the ability to communicate verbally with a world wide audience for my vlog on You Tube. Consistently persuade tens of people to volunteer for the community events I manage in my spare time.
- Seeing the Bigger Picture: In my role as a Senior Meteorologist I foresaw the need to widen the scope of our forecasting in the GMA as weather patterns were starting to become more erratic due to climate change. Scope the volunteering projects to address root cause issues, and address barriers to progress.
- Analysis: Able to take large data sets, both qualitative and quantitative, and identify trends, features and anomalies, and to transfer these into actionable recommendations. These skills were learnt in various degree modules, and I’ve used and refined consistently in my meteorology career.
- Resilience: I am eager to push myself to perform ever better, which means that sometimes I have made mistakes that I’ve had to learn from and come back stronger. This is exemplified in my vlogging, where I am open to criticism and immediate feedback from people all over the world.
- Building Relationships: Across all of my experiences I have demonstrated that I can engage with people, quickly build trust, and form working relationships that provide long lasting benefits for all parties.
