Blog #3 - In your opinion, what is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume?

 Non- designers' resumes follows the same order. At the top the name, address and other contact information of the applicant is provided (usually in a bigger font than the body). Objective is always next on the resume and the rest of information falls under it ( all aligned left). They all use the same font, Times New Romans. The font is usually in black and printed on white letter size printing paper.

 

 The designer's resume is totally different. They provide creative design solutions for everything, even their resumes.  They treat their resumes as they would a sample in their portfolio.  It does not follow a strict order. Each designer uses creative graphics  to display their information wherever they want to. It usually follows a simple, eye-catching colour scheme. When ready to print, high quality paper is used. 

  

 So in my opinion, the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume is that the designer's resume is more visually appealing to the eye than the non-designer's resume.
