Imaginative Resume Style

• This style is most effective for people who are seeking employment in a field which demands creativity and individuality, such as graphic design, creative writing, or landscape architecture. Some employers, however, prefer a more conservative resume style. You should research your companies thoroughly to see if they are open to creative resumes. This type of resume acts like a mini-portfolio item because it demonstrates a combination of layout, graphics, text integration, and audience selection. These resumes can be extremely impressive if they are well-designed.

The use of color graphics is usually applicable, but the cost of duplicating and printing color resumes is sometimes a problem. Color graphics were not feasible for this example, so a black and white image was designed for it.

Reference Sheets

• A reference sheet is a list of professional acquaintances who know your work and are willing to talk to prospective employers. You should always ask permission before you include any information on your reference sheet. You might also offer to give your reference people copies of your resume; an employer may ask questions that will be easier to answer if the person has a copy of your resume information.

You can use a variety of format styles for your reference sheet, but the format you choose should reflect the style of your resume and cover letter because many employers put all of your documents into one file. Any inconsistency in formatting will look unprofessional.

Summary

You can design your resume to show your skills, personality, and qualifications for a position. Many times a resume is your first contact with a prospective employer, and you should make it count. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd and to show off your unique qualifications for the position. Try to highlight the experiences that make your background or education special. The emphasis of your resume can be shifted, in part, by the format you choose to use in your resume.

Resumes have several standard sections which contain information that the employer will want or need to know such as Name, Address, Career Objective, Education, Job Related Courses, Work Experience, Skills, Activities, Honors, References, and Portfolio. Not all of these sections are necessary on every type of resume, and the sections do not necessarily have to go in any particular order. Some of the most common organizational styles are Functional, Skills, Chronological, and Imaginative.

Your reference sheet should reflect the organizational style of your resume for consistency throughout your employment file. This list and your portfolio are usually sent in response to the employer's request, but some people include it with their resume and cover letter.
