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.

    I usually write it in “other experience”. Personally I like to include the languages that I know with some description of how well I read/write/speak/understand them and my experience with working with those countries. I also include various hobbies in the more personal data section, even if they’re not related to the current position. It’s also perfectly fine to add an entire section just for IT-skills if you think it makes sense. All jobs involve IT somehow, so it’s usually a good idea to mention something about it. Even if the job doesn’t require you to know C++ or Adobe it still shows that you understand IT better than on MS Office user level
