My Resume

[gbrown]

Well I am quickly winding down my time here at college and am starting to polish a lot of my stuff so that when i hit the job market I will be prepared. I wanted to show you guys my resume and see what you guys thought of it. Please be extremely honest with this.

Thanks

Quentin

A couple of things right off the bat that I should mention are... Hide your info on your resume when you post it. You do not want people on the internet to just be able to read your phone #, location, etc...

Make your info: Name, contact info etc... more prominant on your resume.

Also, If your major is Design Arts and you are almost completed with it... it is in my experience that the employer does not care too much about the names of the exact classes you have had relating to graphic design. That comes as a given considering it is a Bachelors degree and you are about to obviously graduate.

Another thing... scratch the bottom line of "portfolio and references available upon request" Always bring your porfolio to an interview and they know that you will come up with references if they ask for them.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

yeah i didn't think about the whole info on the net thing. But that was an easy fix. Thanks for the advice.

Couple things -

The glasses are moving my eye off the page for some reason, try flipping them 180 degrees.

If you are going to leave course work on there, move foundations down to the next line to set off the title a bit.

I your "experience" in the last paragraph, there is an extra space between "and & brochure"

The formatting of the copy is really non-existent and it makes it hard for someone to quickly scan through your resume. Consider using bold copy, italics, graying back the description sections of the copy, etc. to help the eye view each part within the larger sections easier.

I probably explained that like crap.

This is a quick example:

September 2006
Won the Devin Prize for design arts

Even though I wouldn't "gray it back" that drastically.

Does that make sense?
