Midterm Resume Project

Here's a website I found useful. This information was new to me, but common sense:

"Since hiring managers have already been trained to scan for specific information in the anticipated flow of information in a traditional resume, many are not willing to go through the extra effort of reviewing an infographic resume in a format that is new to their eyes. For this reason, it’s always advisable to include a traditional text-based resume along with your infographic resume."

Here's a "before" of my resume; hopefully there'll be a good "after" one.

 

More info from the website mentioned above:

"According to a study conducted by TheLadders, 80 percent of the job recruiter’s time will be spent on just six key elements in your resume:
  • Your name
  • The company you currently work for
  • Your previous employment
  • The start and end dates of your previous jobs
  • The start and end dates of your most recent job
  • Your educational background"
I am considering simplifying my resume to these elements...

Mo graciously provided me with some advice to look on Behance.com for ideas for our portfolios and self branding and stuff. Some other ideas for project 5: - redo p1 - more food icons (ref. p2) (ethnic foods maybe; Japanese? I could do a mixture of my heritage; Chinese, Thai, and Filipino! - business card? logo/brand? (because I want to open an online shop in the future. I'm thinking prints and stickers and idk what else.  maybe I should make a layout for a commissions sheet or the website itself? - cover for my portfolio; signature - on-going project: stickers. Create a sticker sheet. (layout element) Theme: snowboard stickers; link to list ...

Portfolio Layouts

A Good Portfolio Layout       takes into consideration the relationship between audience and creator. If the creator is a website designer, then it's more effective to make the portfolio interactive like a website than, say, a book. It also integrates the elements of design to make it easy to understand. Take these helpful tips that illustrate what those are:      Here's an example of a layout that was "popular" in 2016, according to this website ; I think it'd still be quite popular today, too.       Here are some examples of documents that aren't portfolios, but incorporate those elements of design, like repetition, hierarchy of colors and typefaces. A sense of unity is key to creating a good portfolio. If the folios were separated, it would be easy to put them back together because they look similar.
