Making My Resume During Math Class

Hey guys whats up! Princessprt here and anyways...i should probably be working on my school work but i`m building my resume. So heres a quick tip if you make a web design porfilo thats ok to use in a resume, but a personal blog , like this blog here, is not a good ideal to put into your resume. It can reflect upon yourself negatively. Also i suggest you begin to build your resume during your junior year or when ever you decided to start working. I suggest reading several resumes that other people have built and see what type of stuff you can do. For Example. In My Resume, I have to put the truth, that im a junior still in high school. Now i have a problem with my resume building. I have no clue what to put on the Qualifications area along with achievements. Truth be told i cant put anything in the job area because truthfully i have worked yet. Being a youtuber may or may not count, either way it goes i think i`ll need to leave it blank for now. Back to Qualifications and Achievements, Why cant i put anything there? Because i can describe others very well, Me on the other hand, i cant describe myself because i dont know what to think of my self. *looks at other Graphic Designer Resumes and Profiles*...... Wow...thats just so cool...wow.
So it appears i am going to have some stuff to do. Also i will be working on A Website for my mom and i to start a Crafts and Designs Business. I`m Still working on the symbol. On Behance i can build my one of a kind graphic designer Resume. So Graphic designers, unlike others, get to put a lil bit of color and personalty into their resumes. Gotta make it pop ya know. If your going into Graphic Designs think of yourself as a brand...So heres some tips for thoose graphic Designers out there making their Resumes

  • Use Your Tools of Trade (Use what you normally use when you design items)
  • Make it your own (personalize it! Design it to fit you!)
  • NO Templates (Many people use templates and people with the same template as their competior are going to wind up both of them being ignored by employers!)
  • Smart Color Choices (careful with 1thoose colors)
  • Readability is Priority Numero Uno! (have them able to read it!)
  • Consider a Inforgraphy( its a cool way but careful otherwise you`ll over shadow your information in them)
  • Use ample white space (it means to leave plenty of space in between information but not to much, This will make it easier for employers to scan for information)
  • You are a brand.. Treat yourself as one.(Put a branding icon on your resume portfolio, cover letter, business card and anything else you might show off to a potential employer, makes it easier to tell who you are)
  • Digital resumes which are best used in a PDF format for when employers need a digital copy.(PDF cause it`ll look the same across the board)
  • No Photocopys or Photocopying. (Photocopying will cause a employer to throw your resume out and are not very good for ANY resume use)
