I am trying to write a CV to be read by primary school teachers and principals. Can anyone think of a euphemism for artist's model?

Well, I woudl ahve thought that being an artist's model wasn't so inappropriate, as long as the nakey part isn't emphasised.

I wouldn't put it on the CV at all. Is it relevant? Were you doing something else at the time? If the answers are "no" and "yes" respectively then you can leave it off. CVs don't have to be minutely detailed.

[arthwollipot]

Agreed with both. Leave it off if it's not relevant, but if it is then "artist's model" is perfectly sufficient. You're giving it to school teachers, not school children.

How about 'professional naked lady'?

People talk about standard CVs, but a standard CV doesn't get you a job. Each CV needs to be tailored to the position you're applying for.

Whenever you put ANYTHING on a CV, ask yourself:

Are these skills relevant to the position I am applying for?

If the answer is "no", leave it off.

If, however, the answer is "yes", then you won't need to couch it in euphemism, since they'll want to know that you have, and can do, what you've mentioned.

You know how to contact me if you need a hand.

Very wise advice that i would defintely second. Think of the poor bastards who have to scan read your application - they don't have the headspace to process any irrelevant details.

It depends. Eclectic or unusual things can catch the interest of an interviewer.

Having something that places you out of the crowd can make a difference, as I've found out through personal experience (I have my interest in medieval history and combat on my CV).

If there's 50 people applying and they can't only feasibly interview 10 and 30 of you have similar skills and experience, something different can be the important factor.
