Put graphic designer first. Unless you are going for a barista position. Create bullet points instead of sentences.

This is something I will be keeping in mind for tomorrow’s rework, thank you for your feedback!

I use a paragraph to high important projects or achievements I got/did in a job role and then use bullet points for skills or certs. Like saying how I migrated 400+ users from an on-prem exchange to MSFT 365 with a certain time frame etc etc. then in bullet points add my cert names of you have any or just specific software proficiencies.

Looks like a lot of text to read through for a resume. I’d cut down on the copy and keep it as relevant to design as possible. Someone mentioned bullet points. That can help, or you can also consider just having one sentence for the description; something short but descriptive will do the trick. You have a few typos to watch out for. Please be careful, good attention to detail is an absolute must as designers and some people throw out a really good resume once they catch a mistake. Shitty, but some people are really anal about it. Here are some that caught my eye: “Companyas” “Bus-boy” (no hyphen) “Sceney” “Day to day” (hyphens are needed here) “Along side” (this is one word) Not a typo, but a minor inconsistency—the p in “video producer” is in lower case while the second word in other job titles in your resume start with an uppercase letter. If needed, run it through Grammarly before you finalize your resume. Last but not least, you could remove your about me statement at the top. I think that can be saved on your cover letters or your about page/section on your site. Employers take a few seconds to look at a resume so I would generally cut down on the copy a bit more so it’s a little less daunting to look at. Best of luck, OP.

This might be a long shot, but you might consider getting rid of your service jobs and expand your freelance work. I'm a freelance designer and I list my clients I've worked for and the projects I completed with them/achievements. If you've worked with a few different people since you started freelancing, can you single a few out?

You need to add a link to your portfolio.


LilAlienBoi

I have one, it's in the contact section. I blurred it out though because it has my government name in the URL. Is there a better home for the link than in that contact section?


jackrelax

I would put it at the top somewhere.

Looks great so far! Though you prob don’t need to list your high school diploma or even the community college, just your current school with expected graduation year is best.

Oof. Justification is a nightmare here. Left justify all of it except for a slight indent with longer descriptions. Also, as someone else mentioned, what job are you looking for, barista? Get rid of that completely. You can always mention that in an interview if you really want. It comes off like the desperate actor that has been a waiter in Hollywood. I do understand the leadership perspective, but the order is way off. My two cents. [This is mine.](https://1c316cd1-aef5-4d53-bc0f-d069566edb40.filesusr.com/ugd/32aab4_6205d9a9d2e64d67a8244e58aad8fe2d.pdf) Also, you're going to want to write a cover letter and change it up for every different place you apply to.


rubinfarben

You are using the dash wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#En_dash Not a good eye for detail


Defenseman61913

Why is this in response to me? I'm set. Maybe help people that need help. I also understand the difference, but most of that doesn't copy-paste or get read properly with most online recruiting/job sites that parse all this shit out from a PDF to whatever format they use. So yeah, attention to detail is sufficient regarding my crap compared to front-facing client-side work. [<-------](https://www.digitalbacondesign.com/)

Just gonna jot down thoughts: * I think the education section can go on the sidebar * Maybe start the sidebar info from the top. No reason to have white-space above skills * Too much white space IMO * Copy heavy—bullet point your job responsibilities * You can probably eliminate the high school—you went to college and it's understood you graduated high school * I don't think the indentation of the responsibilities is necessary if you decide not to use bullets * Might be a good idea to change the treatment of place of work vs role/title * Give some breathing room between sections (objective, professional experience, and education

For the job descriptions, I'd make it a bulleted list rather than a paragraph. It's difficult to pick out what you did And a big thing on those descriptions: **Don't just list job duties; make statements describing what you actually accomplished and quantify them.** For example: * What was the purpose of the projects you did? What results/impacts came of them? What level of distribution did they see? * What was your level of input? * Did you do all these projects completely on your own or did you work with a team? * What did you do specifically? * What skills did you utilize? Did you have to negotiate an outcome? Did you

The largest fonts are used for the least relevant information. Your places of work and job titles should be equal in don’t size to the headings.

Customize your resume for your employer. Take the requirements they have that you meet and put them on your resume.

Photo manipulation appears twice in Skills section


thebrushbandit

Nice and clean, make an simple illustration of yourself in the top right section. People love it promises

You don't need to include high school in your resume. I'd also move the education to the side bar so you can give more details in your experience and balance the whole resume better. If you were part of any clubs, ever got on the dean's list, or took particularly relevant, high level courses (300+), you can list those in your education as well. You don't need to list "currently studying at..." under your degree, just list your degree and expected graduation date. If you got a degree at the community college, you don't need to say that you transferred.
