CV EXERCISE
Below are four very brief CV’s of people in senior positions. Each of these was published in the Guardian newspaper within the last five years. The Guardian has a weekly feater where they profile a senior person form the corporate, public or voluntary sector and they include a brief summary of their main achievements to date. Interestingly, the Guardian doesn’t say, in these brief profiles, whether the people described are male or female. Working in small groups or pairs decide amongst you which gender you think each of these people are, and why. You need to come to a group consensus.
