Yesterday in PRSSA, University of Oregon grad student Erica Penner came in to teach us of the marketing and then help us out with a bit of a resume workshop. We only got through two of her slides before the questions started flooding the floor. After a few questions were asked, I began to feel a bit discouraged. Although Erica didn’t directly state, she implied that a professional looking resume was a key way to land a job (amongst a million other things). I agree entirely with this statement, however I am not professional in my entirety as a person. I am a million other things and black and white is not one of them. I stumbled across the Internet and I found a few examples that allow for some breathing room on your resume. Nothing too intense but just a little something for employers to remember you by:
I found that although a few of these were a little obscure, some of them found a nice balance between professionalism and personality. And thank you Erica Penner for all of your priceless advice, it was great to have you!
