tips on writing resume as a fresher in graphic designing?

Michelle — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:18:43 +0000

is there any place i can find sample resumes, tips or anything that can help. i haven’t done any market work before and i’ll complete my studies soon i need to write a resume to apply as a graphic designer

Please send me an email, services@aibrean.com as I don’t want to release mine publicly.

I’m an Art Director currently and I operate my own design business. As a rule I list it like this…

Page 1
OBJECTIVE
SKILLS
EXPERIENCE
EDUCATION
AWARDS/AFFILIATIONS

Page 2 (when you have enough stuff to make a page 2)
CLIENT LIST
REFERENCES

- Keep everything relative to your field. Dish washing isn’t going to do any good in a design job unless maybe you are interning. If you do any freelance work or internships then you can list those as experience.

Tips for writing a resume?

Michelle — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:37:42 +0000

So this is my first time writing a resume, I’m 16 and I’ve only have one job before (without a resume being required), so I don’t have much experience.
I’m really unsure how to start it. I’ve already got contact details and all that, but do I start it "Dear Sir/Madam"? Then what? Do I introduce myself? Do I say how much I’d like the job..?
This isn’t for any job in particular, fyi. It’s something I’m planning on giving out to different employers.

Some tips and format would be great 10 points for best answer
Very much appreciated!!

For resumes you don’t start out with "Dear Sir/Madam" because that’s for cover letters.

On the top of the page it’s usually your name, address, phone #, email. the rest can go by:

- Objective (To seek employment in —– )
- Skills/Qualifications
- Work Experience
- Volunteer Experience
- School you’re attending
- Any other accomplishments you feel you should mention… ie. awarded/received special certificates for a sport or activity

Hope this helps. If you have no idea what you want your resume to look like, you can search online for sample resume formats and get some ideas from there. There are lots.

Does anyone have any good tips or advice for writing and tailoring a resume for retail work? Or what retail management might be looking for in a resume of a potential employee?

Tips on resume writing for a 17 year-old’s first job? at Subway, we hope?

Michelle — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:16:45 +0000

Thanks

Jobs like fast food worker don’t normally require resumes, though having one may make your son stand out among the applicants.

I’d use this format:

Job Objective: (and say, to work at Subway or to work in a fast food establishment or whatever)

Education: (put the name of his school, and years attended so far. You can put that he’s currenlty a junior or whatever. If he has taken any classes that would be relevant to the job, such as food preparation, accounting, etc., list them.)

Experience: (Since this is his first job, there won’t be previous jobs, but has he done any kind of work? Odd jobs, volunteer work, even personal projects that show skills needed for Subway. Don’t forget people skills, so any group projects that show teamwork or fundraising from the public…)

Achievements: Add this section if your son has won any awards or honorable mentions for anything.

Keep the resume to one page, wide margins, readable font size, lots of whitespace. Make sure everything is spelled and punctuated correctly.

Michelle — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:13:33 +0000

tell them about your major accomplishments in those other jobs, also mention your gpa, and out of school activities, and tell them your strengths and weaknesses.

Questions and personal tips for writing a resume in a clerical position?

Michelle — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:38:40 +0000

I’m updating my resume to help match with a clerical position. I believe I have plenty of office skills and think I could do a great job as an assistant. I’ve had problems getting job interviews in the past but once I get the interview I usually get the job. I have great people skills but it’s hard to bring that POP into my resume. I’m going to try a cover letter for the first time and I’m not sure what I should write.
I’ve also modified a copy of my resume for specific internet jobs to for my own safety. I leave out my address and my references are replaced with "References available upon request." I want to know if this is appropriate and should I mention my lack of information for my personal safety in my cover letter? Any other tips would be helpful. Thanks!

Format is just as important as content when it comes to making your resume "pop."
As for the address, I would include the city, state, so that the employer can see if you are a local candidate or would have to relocate.

Help with resume writing tips!?

Michelle — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:45:24 +0000

I worked at Albertsons for two years. How could I describe the tasks I did and make them sound professional and important? I worked at the customer service/lobby. I was responsible for product returns, lottery tickets, cigarettes, we had a small video store there also. So far all I have is " Assisted customers with product returns" I don’t know how to make the rest of my responsibilities there sound professional.

How about;

Customer service representative,

responsible for receiving goods,

inventory control,

responsible sale of tobacco and lottery goods,

supervise video rentals,

extensive experience with product returns.. be creative as you are not lying about your experiences and good luck with Job Hunting!!
