resume contents Experts disagree on the contents of the resume. Information that functions well for a copywriter is not effective for a production manager. Content suited for a photographer seldom works for an art director. A good concept is to list all important information briefly. Be a tough editor‌or get one! Grammar and style must be flawless! Critical data tend to fall into four distinct categories.

resume design Resumes should be treated like other promotional pieces and develop through thumbnails, rough, and mock-ups with copy block indicated type. Most student resumes fit easily on one side of an 8 ½ x 11 sheet, a very good size to fit standard files, easy to mail. A standard letterhead can be designed to round out the package. The resume can be typewritten or typeset. It should be flawless mechanically, demonstrate a direct design concept, excellent reproductions, and with accuracy sum up its creator.
