^^ At this point, I sink time into them as “information design” / “graphic design” exercises, for fun. MAJOR Caveat: I’ve yet to get a job based on my resume or portfolio.

As a recent graduate, definitely one-page resume max.

(as opposed to delineating everything I did)

Write just enough to be interesting / spark a conversation about my project.

Use all the variations in text at my disposal - dotted lines, CAPITAL Letters, grey/black text, bold italics.

Three colors, max (black, 60% grey, and blue).

Limit myself to three different font sizes, max.

Keep formatting similar for logically related things (e.g.

(all the icons are from openclipart, so they are public domain. The newer one I made in inkscape, with a lot of work done by hand :/ (namely, I really hate that I manually indented some of the lines) inkscape SVG

I’m not super-happy with it (still too little whitespace), but going to call it a day after/beforeĪs mentioned in older blog posts, the old one was an openoffice / librewriter template, which I am re-posting below:

I realized i hadn’t updated my resume since before I graduated from MIT ^^
