Show us how you would sell yourself with a photo or video CV

A picture can speak a thousand words, so if you had the task of selling yourself to a potential employer, what would you show them?

We want you to get your creative juices flowing and show us, through a picture or video (up to two minutes long), your skills, experience, work history, personality or anything else you think is worth shouting about when it comes to your employability.

So whether you're happy in your job, or hunting for a new role, show us what you bring to the table.

We've put together a couple of examples below to give you some ideas, but anything (within reason) goes.

Guardian journalist Matthew Jenkin took a snapshot of his career, showcasing his ambition, love of travel, writing and even his Tibetan language skills. What would your photo CV look like?

There are lots of great examples on YouTube already. Mark Leruste, for instance, made this video CV to find his dream job. How would you show your CV in two minutes?

Unlike Mark, please don't use any music in your video or we won't be able to publish it.

We will choose our favourites to include in an article on the Guardian Careers site and share on social media.

Share your pictures now by clicking on one of the blue 'contribute' buttons or, if you're out and about, you can download the GuardianWitness app on your smartphone.

GuardianWitness is the home of user-generated content on the Guardian. Contribute your video, pictures and stories, and browse news, reviews and creations submitted by others. Posts will be reviewed prior to publication on GuardianWitness, and the best pieces will feature on the Guardian site.
