What did you include in your design resume?
I have worked in the IT field for over 15 years and my IT work is the only thing on my current resume. I do not have a design resume but do need to create one. I believe it should include software programs used for designing, education and design work experiences. Maybe a link to an online portfolio.
What did you exclude?
I would probably exclude work experience irrelevant to design.
Did you take a traditional route or a more creative one?
I will aim for a more creative one when I do design one.
How do you decide what should go into your portfolio and what shouldn’t?
I do not have a portfolio yet either but I think it should include a variety of pieces to show your spectrum of skills.
Have you started working on your portfolio?
No.
How long is your portfolio?
It will depend on how many strong pieces I am comfortable with adding to the portfolio. I don't think it should be overwhelming but I do think there should be enough pieces to highlight your talent and skills.
What’s more important you’re resume or your portfolio?
I believe they carry equal weight. The resume speaks to who you are and what you can do and the portfolio shows what you can do.
