Professional designer's CV: creative, clean, simple

The recent economic recovery phenomenon is obvious, the major enterprises appear labor shortage Ah, this is not, many headhunting and recruitment information flocking, many friends are caught in a dilemma (is to choose a big club, or pick a potential shares?) As if the designer's treatment is getting better, and it's a breeze.

However, I have also seen a phenomenon, a lot of friends by HR shouting call after the phone, many are on the side of the meat steamed stuffed bun dozen dogs, from the communication I found, whether it is the hard work of cattle b, or fresh out of the small sheep, there is a writing resume problem. And a lot of the interview Waterloo is also on this issue-in fact, there are many articles on the workplace is about how to guide you to write a resume, that the designer of the profession will be a little special? What should the designer's resume notice? Just talk about this today.

Here's what a professional designer's resume should do, but not limited to that, you should be able to think of more ingenious tricks, no matter how creative you are, you have to do – clean, simple, and impressive. The role of a resume is first a job description, a sign to find a job, and then your personal show, don't turn the relationship upside down. A too "creative" and the lack of a rational resume tends to cause resentment, giving the impression of not being stable.

1. Important part of CV

No matter what job, the most important thing about a resume is three things: your skills, your past performance, your real job .

Skills are a description of what you can do, so you should choose the job you are interested in, the skills you really need to apply, and don't write "proficient with Windows systems and Office software," which are basic common sense and should not appear as your skills. Of course, if you are interviewing for a design clerk's job, you should emphasize "proficiency in PowerPoint use and the design and editing of appropriate documentation."

Your performance is your past achievements and experience, which is the most concerned by HR and management, your performance should be effective, and can be checked in at least 3 years, access to, such as: You have worked in the company do not happen to accidentally collapse, you serve customers do not happen to die accidentally, your former leader do not just retire to leave , the case you have designed should not never have been seen in life ...

The real work situation is your past history, what you want to do, what you do, what are the inevitable links between them, are you still employed? When will you be able to make your exit procedures, your current salary structure (you can not say the number) and so on. These will affect the enterprise to your value evaluation, also will give a basic bottom line, facilitate interview time communication.

2. Keep the document as simple as possible

If you are a veteran, your resume should be simple, but the lines are amazed, if you are a rookie, you should not write a resume like a novel, trying to give you the impression of the vicissitudes of HR, letting. The simplicity of the document does not mean that it needs to be judged by your ability to organize your writing and your choice of grades.

Yes, complex documents, HR does not have time to look, and will not read verbatim, this is a superficial phenomenon, the deep meaning is "a simple things to complicate the guy, we do not need."

How can documents be kept simple? Classification is a good way to describe the situation by category number, although a bit of dogma, but in the early days more effective, and finally to the overall modification.

3. Attention to Detail

· There is no typos-the emergence of typos is a big taboo, the emergence of English typos (not the interview of foreign companies) is a big taboo CV! A candidate who doesn't even bother to check a typo is basically eliminated from the first round.
· Don't use personal pronouns – don't use "I think" in your resume. I think, "I used to", "My strength is" and so childish, a resume is a standard is vague to carry out the objective description of the third person, to appear more real and frank, you can not violate this law.
· Multi-use Arabic numerals – "More than 100 design cases" relative to "design case more than 100" more impressive, make your performance as digital as possible, if necessary, you can change the color of the text to highlight them, the number is always convincing.

4. Highlight your performance rather than the title

You can say in your resume, "formerly XXXX Company design Director", but then your pen and ink will be placed under the title of the performance, you as the design director during the team developed what products, what customers, what awards have been created, how much value, and what reputation has won? I've seen a few candidates, and it's written "accredited to an international design Award", "4 years as the design director of XXX"-but then there is nothing, and I think it's a tricky--and, more importantly, "is the award of your project the IF Design award?" "What is the If?" ”

5. Expressing a positive attitude

Although the resume is a rational work, but we still hope that the inside is a person of color, a positive attitude towards the design of the enthusiasm, you should be reflected from here, including active participation in industry activities, the communication of the team to participate in the design of the association and help to carry out public welfare activities, are some good experience cases.

A positive attitude does not mean that you like to work overtime, pay no compensation, and help your co-workers with the project ... remember that these are sensitive topics that you don't talk about until you know what your company is.

6. Beautifully designed but not pompous

HR's design requirements for your CV, even more than your design shows the level of attention, this is due to professional characteristics, I particularly remind many just from school friends, your resume is best not to use the online download of the PPT Template Library, their quality is really bad, You should have some basic ability to distinguish.

How to make your resume beautiful? Do not use the photo material, do not use the pattern, the use of color blocks and simple lines, focus on the layout of the design and the use of fonts, control your layout, the information should be displayed to the perfect display of good.

7. The accurate contact method

Your phone should be kept open for 24 hours, your mailbox to ensure accurate receipt of unfamiliar address letter, your IM tool to ensure that at least the working time of the normal operation ... Any HR may use the notification method, is to contact you the means, if you can not guarantee to contact you at any time, this contact method does not write in the resume.

I have seen a resume, after leaving his phone, but also left a friend to live with the phone, this is really foolproof, but how to say it?! -Our HR is generally not able to contact you in the circumstances, and probably will not try other ways, so still have to be the most reliable.

Some companies are explicitly prohibit the use of QQ, such as Huawei, so your resume is best not in the contact method inside the QQ number, the reason why I said it.
