One of
the main differences between a designer’s resume and a non designer’s resume is
the appearance. In the examples below fig.1 is a designer resume
and fig.2 is a non designers resume.
fig.1 |
fig.2 |
Both display Information
about the applicants past work experience and technical skills. However on the
designers resume the information is represented in a pictorial way as seeing
under artistic skills. Here skills such as photography, typography and digital
illustration are each represented by using pictorial graph to rate each skill
area. Also the picture of the applicant on
the designer resume is cartoon based images unlike the non designers resume
were this would be unacceptable. On a
regular resume information about the applicant is communicated by using only in
words and is often listed as bullet points.
A designer’s resume is most often done
using a program that is closely associated with the trade such as Adobe
illustrator, Photoshop or Adobe in designs. A designer’s resume as a rule of
thumb is not ever done using programs such as Microsoft word as this would be
counterproductive. A non designer’s resume must have the most recent work experience
listed first with previous employment following in sequential order. Details
of past job positions and duties is generally required. However with designers
resume there is more creative freedom as to what information is listed and the
order it will be presented. Also unlike a non designers resume there is a focus
on the artistic creative abilities of the applicant versus their administrative
capacity.
