Resume Revamp
A resume is the first impression that future interviewers and employers have of you. When creating a resume, one needs to really sell themself. A resume should contain contact information such as name, email address, and phone number. Following that should be your work experience, skills, and education. Some resumes have a small profile area or about me area, this gives the employer a little idea of who you are, your work ethic, and what you are looking for. These are just some standard things that resumes have but each resume is different.
It's a good idea to keep a resume fresh, keep your listed work experience up to date, and refine your list of skills. As seen in the thumbnails above, many resumes are divided into two sections. The left half contains a name and contact information, sometimes the list of skills can go there too. The right half of the resume contains the profile or about me section, experience, and education. What you do with color, layout, and graphics is what will set your resume apart from someone else’s.
The two thumbnails in the middle of the top row are a bit more unique than the others. One has two bold highlighted triangles that frame the page, that detail draws the viewers’ attention to the information in the middle of the page. The thumbnail to the left of that has leafy details that add a bit of originality and personality to the resume.
The rest of the resume thumbnail layouts are just organized differently with little differences in the placement of information and different line types. Whatever you choose, make sure to not overwhelm the reader with too much color, pattern, or too many graphics. Your resume could go from professional to confusing and unreadable very quickly.
The eight thumbnail sketches are easy to see and read. It is easy on the eyes and neatly done. Each of them hold uniqueness that is simplistic and organized. The second one especially has an eye catching leaf decoration. The third one is symmetric and nicely done. All of them are cohesive and look professional.
ReplyDeleteThe variance you have makes your designs look very clean which would stick out to an employer. Make sure that design numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have those texts in the places they would be like Professor Pabico said to do. You covered the space on your pages very well so they are very proportionate the only thing that I might suggest which you don't have to do because of how clean it looks is maybe on design 4 add an image on the top and bottom on the left side of the page above and below your name!
ReplyDeleteRevised!! One above is not the correct grammar!!

The final Comp is very neat and organized yet it stands out. Make sure the pictures are free images on google. Other than that great job.
ReplyDeleteThe final is clean, organized, and using a two column grid - that is asymmetrically balanced - makes for a strong design. Highlighting your “logo” with a white background (or a lighter color from the column) is well-done. For the lineart that you want to use, check out this blog that has a guide for using free lineart.
