Overall, the best resume design is one that's simple. No quirky ass formats, just indicate what you did in bullet form (yes, bullet... easier to read that a 1/2 page paragrah).

I absolutely have no interest in resumes that have never-ending blabber on several pages. And please make it relevant... I understand you think you can do everything... but please stick to what you've done. And so help me if there are no dates on a resume, I will throw it out.

bullets are evil, and completely worthless. space the text, make it organized and there's no need for bullets.

As long as your resume highlights your strengths you should be fine. Unless, off course, you apply for a position completely unrelated to anything you've done.

^^ Did you know that your portfolio has the "UI Design - Flash Development - PHP Development" page duplicated? It shows up on pages 10 and 12.

the length / amount of information / design is not as important as having


LOTS OF WHITE SPACE SO YOU CAN READ IT


and for bonus info to keep in mind, the cover letter should not rehash your resume bullet points

true to a point, but they're a visual cue for when somebody does the initial scan through, i have bullets on mine, but they're essentially a tertiary delineator after my main text format cues for each section

for those seeking a job in the finance industry, do you think it would be appropriate to include in my resume my plan/desire to seek CFP (certified financial planner) certification in the near future?
