Resume's aren't a topic of much interest. We all learned how to create a resume from a business class or relative, and pretty much took for granted that it's just the way things are. As artists and designers, when we apply for job positions, we aren't just sending employers a resume. We also include our painstaking ever-improving portfolio, but is it enough?
A resume is a place to display our skills, and as designers (especially designers in visual communication fields) shouldn't our resume be a tribute to our style and creativity as well? We take on this initiative often with business cards and websites, but in our resumes we very well can go to all the same extremes to make an impression.
These are some designers who took an extra step in being remembered, and shared their resume's to inspire and push the boundaries of our presentation in everyday life. It's fun to look through and see the unique and creative ways some artists have found to make themselves known; and what an exciting thought that we could all be this creative in the way that piece of paper or PDF document we send out to those judgmental employers and have that document really represent who we are.
The way we present ourselves to society is constantly under scrutiny, and we feel this. There are so many little ways like this that we can make impressions, improve our image, and be remembered as designers. It might be time for even those outside of the artistic field to start getting bold with their resumes.
