Think of applying for a job like flirting with someone.
Tell them just enough information to get them interested in asking you more questions.
Design your resume, yes, but keep it minimal.
If you don't have tons of experience, use white space to show your design touch.
Your roles should ladder up to what your current position is.
Keep descriptions simple and name drop big clients but be vague enough to get them to call you in and want to ask more questions.
Keep them curious.
Do not spam your resume everywhere, as people keep it on record and you want to be able to pivot if it's not working.
Do not give out your resume until you get a job description, then you can give it out.
It's like an exchange, don't give it up easy.
Test your resume first, send out 3 times and you better get at least one response.
If you don't get a response, try again to 2 more times.
Still no response, redo your resume make it better.
Hope that helps.
FYI, same goes for your portfolio, never show it to anyone unless they gonna give you a job.

- Just wait, once you master this, you'll be getting responses and soon you'll try and get to first base...robotron3k
- It's hard to judge the number of responses based on your resume's appearance opposed to the experience listed. You can ask during an interview what they thoughtCyBrainX
- @eighteen ^ do your homework regarding pay grade in your country at your level, if they ask you how much, ask them back what "package" they offer for your levelgrafician
- then say you have other offers and you will need to consider their offer! even if you're a junior, this works 100% and you get a better dealgrafician
