Choosing Your Resume Format

Once you have your Resume/CV information accumulated, the next step is to choose a format (or formats if you are applying for several different types of jobs) in which you will insert that information. Here are some links and a few short videos you may find helpful:

• Choosing the Right Resume Format

• Resume Examples by Industry (Links to an external site.)

• DVC Career Services - Resume and Cover Letter Samples

• infographic resume vs traditional resume (Links to an external site.)

• Check out: How do employers feel about Infographic vs. Traditional Resumes? (It depends on the employer and the job). (Links to an external site.)

• And: Infographic Resume - When You Need One and When You Don't (Links to an external site.)

• Meet the Robots Reading your Resume (Links to an external site.)

Look over these resources and find what sort of resume format(s) you think you will need for the job(s) you plan on applying for.

If the job you seek is in that gray area between the traditional business model, and the wilder edges of Graphic Design (Links to an external site.)/Advertising Artist (Links to an external site.) you may want a traditional resume that has a little, but not too much graphic pop. If so, you may do best with this sort of simple style that still looks nicer than a perfectly plain one. For this, try using the YouTube tutorial at left.
