Resume

[ickaimp]

Ha ha ha.
Ha. Hah. Hahahahahahahahahahaaa. heh

Oh, this is such udder utter bullshyte. THROUGH MY TEETH.
Okay, not really. Slightly. Maybe the 'Creative Writing' part, because say in 'I write pr0n fanfiction' on a resume would prolly be really really bad. Like, 'Never Get Hired' bad, which would just suck and defeat the purpose.

Icka's Current Resume (names have been changed to protect the innocent)

... I have NO idea for what to put under 'Profile'. 'I'll take anything plz hire me!!!111!! isn't exactly dignified. 'Creative multi-talented person seeking interesting job with other weirdos'-?
Anyway. Please lemme know what you think, what could use improvement or if I should scrap it all and go for a different template.
This is one of Google Docs templates, which is nice and easy in the 'only have to re-type half the stuff' sorta way.

Yeah, kinda punch drunk now. Meanwhile, Megs is reading a chat conversation outloud about Kakashi sodomizing Naruto with his fingers in episode one.

Hope everyone's night is going well. ^__^

It actually looks pretty good; only thought on it is that you might want to extrapolate a little, and I wouldn't capitalize everything. Hmm-- letters of reference might be good as an add-on. **offers** Depending on the job, those can count.

*Scratches head.* Looks good to me, although maybe gearing it towards where you're applying to might help. (Graphic design samples/portfolio, insisting in profile on what you could bring the company, etc...)

*Sigh* Need to go and touch up my own CV-resume thing. Joy~.

Good luck! \o/

The resume looks pretty good to me. Few things I would change: Depending on what the job you're applying for requires, I would make the skills text bigger and the Work Experience somewhat smaller. All of your skills are being swamped out by what you've done in the past and it makes the resume seem empty to me.

Another thing is that only one item is bolded in the activities section, and because of how the rest of the resume is formatted, it looks like all of your activities are somehow involved with that. Perhaps unbold it and move what you do there to the side of it with a dash separating them.

Lastly, and I've read this quite a few places when I was trying to put my resume together, leave out the References available upon request part. It is a given that they can ask for references, so it just takes up space and is useless text on a resume.

As for format it's pretty well done. As another suggestion to add to something I mentioned a bit earlier, it might make the skills section more legible if you bulletpoint the skills you have under each subcategory and split them up into two columns in that section to use up better space realty on the page. This way, they're easy to read and figure out what you can do.

That's all the suggestions I can think of right now. Best of luck!
