5 tips for perfect web designer resume??
Hello
1: Stand out from the crowd
Be different. Don't ever use a standard font in your resume like Times, Arial or even Georgia. Try a different layout. Kevin was thoughtful enough to include the fonts he used in his resume . On my resume I used fruiterer. Now, I advise against getting too wild or using colored paper - but definitely don't look "standard". 2: Make them remember you
Put your name in large text. When they think of candidates, make sure they think of your name first.
3: Put the important stuff first
Hopefully, that's your extensive work experience, but if not - put whatever is most impressive first. If you're student, get some experience! Help out a non-profit or a friend, do something to give yourself that leg up above your competition.
4: Your contact info isn't important
One of the things I love above Kevin's resume is that his contact info is all the way in the top right - out of the way. If they want to contact you, they'll find your phone number. Don't put it between your name and your experience. Think like the usability expert you are, help the user "scan" your resume.
5: List your skills and expertise
Don't be shy, tell it all. This might be the most important part of your resume, so maybe it should go first.
