Writing my CV

Hello

I work a full-time job, I'll call it my support job, and on the side working on becoming a Screenwriter. I have limited experience working on that. The goal is to one day work as a full-time Screenwriter.

I would like to find a job related to film and TV where I can use the skills I've gained in my support jobs, create networks to reach my goal of working as a Screenwriter. The problem I have is I have a CV for all of the jobs I've had and another Screenwriter CV. On my Screenwriter CV, I have listed the training I've done and the work I've written. If I had to send my Screenwriter CV to apply for jobs in Film&TV, I would definitely not be considered because there is nothing in that CV that shows the skills I've gained in the CV I use for my support job and other jobs I've had.

Should I have a combined CV that shows all the jobs I've had relevant to the role I'm applying for with my Screenwriting experience added or should I have separate CVs as I have now?

If you know of people who've done it, please share where I can check out their profiles.
