In Moderncv, add a footnote to a cventry [closed]

Question

In a resume created using the Moderncv template, I've been able to add footnotes to 'regular' text by adding the line

\usepackage{footmisc}

and subsequently using \footnotemark and \footnotetext{} at the bottom of the page, as suggested in previous posts. However, if I try to add a footnotemark in a cventry:

\cventry{2012--Present}{Quantitative Interpretation (QI) geophysicist}{NAM B.V\footnotemark}{}{}{Contribute to increasing the success rate of exploration and development drilling by screening prospects for direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHIs).}

then I get the following error:

! Use of \@xfootnotemark doesn't match its definition.

\@ifnextchar ...eserved@d =#1\def \reserved@a {#2}

\def \reserved@b {#3}\futu...

Does anyone know why the \footnotemark doesn't work in a cventry?
