Resumé

What's the purpose of a resumé?

How and when is it important?

Who sees it and what are they looking for?

What are the priorities?

What needs to be on a resume?

What order or sequence?

How bold or how traditional?

How much is about facts, how much about image?

What will doom a resumé ... what are the faux pas?

Introduction to Resumé Writing

Below are links to sites/pages that offer helpful information on what a resumé should and can be.

In the fields of art and design, the rules are superficially much more open, but the basic objectives remain the same — communicate what your skills and experiences are, concisely, accurately and attractively.

We visual folks are allowed, even encouraged or expected, to communicate visually as well as verbally. But the extent to which you show off your graphics may be limited by who you will be presenting your resumé to. Presenting a resumé to a school district superintendent is different than presenting to a design firm's creative director — they will be impressed by distinctly different qualities. Thus, you may need to design alternate versions of your resumé for the different positions you are applying for. Nevertheless, explore ways to express who you really are, as well as communicating the essential facts about your training and experience.
