winters in buffalo Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 See I was thinking about ditching the non-related jobs. But what would I put in there to explain the time-gap between design related jobs?That's a tough call. You want to show that you were doing something, but I don't think the other jobs add any useful information. I'd stick to just the design jobs, and really put some thought into showing what you accomplished while you were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 See I was thinking about ditching the non-related jobs. But what would I put in there to explain the time-gap between design related jobs?Joe's right. To that end, you could maybe go with a functional/reverse chronological hybrid resume rather than just the reverse chronological. That puts the focus more on what you've done rather than where/how long you've worked and provides the added benefit of kinda helping play down gaps in your work history, too.My resume sucks, as evident by the fact I don't get called for interviews, but trust me on this one On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

Mings Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Another question? Is it wise to put my own "company" on there? Basically the freelance stuff I have done for pay. It would show design skills and illustrator skills, but I don't know how wise it is to show self employment so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
