Does anybody have a handy resource for how to format a resume if you've done freelance work for the past two years?
I feel like I'm trying to combine two different types of resumes and it's driving me nuts.

how do you mean chief?
I would have a section for freelance work - list the jobs and have a paragrph on what I did while there...how long I was there...what my responsibilities were etc...

...and keep it as a section separate from Professional Experience?
1- Freelance Work
2- Professional Experience
3- Education
4- SkillsAm I missing anything?

I always think it's good to have a 'professional goals' bit in there....

i would have to say the opposite from what jevad said...if you need a professional goal then you dont sound like a professional yet...just someone looking to be one...be aware of this as i know i am not the only one who feels this way, seeing thaat can make your resume get sent to the back or may get you the job...
i dunt kno!

by professional goal do you mean an objective?

the question in my head is, what is the goal of the resume? are you looking for full time work? or clients?
- kbags0
full time work, coming off an extended freelance period

I don't have an objective on mine, nobody has ever said anything. then again I rarely have been asked for a resume for freelance work.
