Response to Pamela Pryor's Resume

Pamela’s resume is very detailed and well organized. There are definitely some formatting problems, but she said she was having trouble posting them to Blogger so I will only mention them. The formatting is definitely a key aspect to a graphic communication resume. I would recommend centering and enlarging your name. I also think it would be a nice touch to bold each section and place a box around each one of your jobs like the example in the book on page 493. You have very good experience, so it is very important to highlight this important quality. Other then formatting, you might want to look at leaving out some information such as the high school you graduated from. I think you need to also include first an objective for an entry level position as a graphic designer. This could replace the profile section of your resume, and you could move your GPA to the education section. The only other thing I would recommend to you would be to change the order of your activities and awards listing the most applicable first. I think the Junior Academic achievement award in graphics should probably be placed first. You are very qualified for a job in graphic communications, now you just need to sell yourself with some formatting and order changes to your resume. I hope my suggestions help.
