Professional Practices: Writing a Resume

As creatives, we have to take a more creative approach to writing a resume as our field requires different sections than other job markets.  Writing these resumes can be a daunting task, especially if you don't know where to even start.  However, this document from the School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan can help!  

Important sections include:

• Education
• Experience (including paid jobs, pro-bono work, and internships)
• Leadership 
• Other skills

The document even includes sample resumes to help make this entire process a little easier.  Remember to include only the important stuff and good luck!
