MAKE YOUR CV STYLISH
I always find myself disliking my website, my haircut, and … my CV. I came across this useful little site from where you can ‘steal’ ideas to make your CV pretty:
Death Row
Most people do not know when and how they will die. Death Row inmates do. They are told the exact day, hour and minute of their death, including all the precise details, procedures and rituals of their execution.
Death Row is a documentary series written and directed by legendary feature filmmaker Werner Herzog, telling the fascinating and controversial story of crime and the death penalty. Over the period of a year, Herzog interviewed inmates in America as they awaited their death, uncovering brutal stories of rape and murder.
… and because I just can’t get enough of Herzog’s narrative voice.
