Blog #3 What is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume.

A resume is a written compilation/summary of your education, experiences, credentials, skills and accomplishments that is used to apply for jobs. It is one of the most important pieces of any job application. It shows a potential employer that you are qualified for the position you are seeking. It is NOT a biography of everything you have done as the reviewing time is very short. The purpose of a resume is a way to get you an interview.

With that being said in my opinion the difference between and designer’s resume and a non-designer’s resume is basically the visual aspect of it.

A non-designer’s resume is more traditional and boring with no form of graphic art displayed. Usual just a white print paper with black type.

 

A designer’s resume however, is very different and unique to that potential employee. It allows that individual to use this 1^st opportunity to showcase their creativity giving them that edge above competitors trying to get that interview.
