Title.

I have a lot of skills I use in my hobbies and helping others out, I study tech shit, physical\digital art and other languages, but my current employment is so basic it doesn't need any of these things. And I have no in-paper proof I know them.

While writing my CV, I feel pretty lost. My position doesn't say anything at all, and I don't know how to show I have experience editing photoes, sound and video in Adobe, coding shit in different languages when it's needed.

Do you have some guides to write a good CV? Or how to write in your occasional works in unrelated fields?

upd: One fucking doctor in my field asked me why I'm still there with all things I did they know about. I didn't know what to answer.

upd2: Thank you Lemmers, you rock.

Have you checked the local Department of Labor?

The book 'What Color Is Your Parachute?' has been in publication for fifty years. Might be worth checking out.

I'm a russian. But I guess this book can inspire me too.
