You're Fired! No, Wait, You're Hired! Whatever.
If you're job-hunting, simplify your resume. As always, keep it to one page. If you can't figure out a way to put your freelance work and your full-time work on one resume, divide it into two resumes, using whichever one is more applicable (or both). The freelance resume can include a client list, most recent publications and other projects (proofreading, editing, blogging, etc.) On your personal resume, keep your personal hobbies and interests out (unless you are applying to a job at, say, Outside magazine and want to indicate that you're big into rapelling)- you must realize that even though you might really, really like going to the movies and trying new restaurants, so do most people. If you're the simplistic type who wants the work to speak for itself, then go ahead and use one of the resume templates that Microsoft Word gives you. But if you really want to "knock their socks off" and do other dynamic things with your one piece of paper, then I have found resources for you, oh yes I have. But if you really feel like going the distance, don't stop at your resume: work on your CV! |
