I've heard that listing out on a resume every application one knows ... which for most designers averages 8 -10 today, is a waist of space.
Anyone agree or disagree ?

depends on what you are going for. I list out a lot, but just the major ones, of course not all of them especially sound and 3d stuff.

Another question is, would it be appropriate to put Actionscript, Applescript and C++ in the "language" section, since, technically, they are languages?
What do you think?

sure you can say Flash Actionscript as a Sever Side Language, that's the way I have it, even though it is more like object-oriented programming. I mean it's all relative. How about making a Server Side: and then a Client-Side:

if that makes 4 languages plus english, its absurd. list them in skills section or something

yeah depends on you really

i like to see what operating systems both designers and developers have experience in...and i mean real experience...not, "oh i used mac os 9 for a week when i was visiting my friend..."
it's good to know your way around all systems, just incase the job you are looking at may use something else.

And hopefully you will run a spell check once you complete it.
(It is "waste" of space, not "waist" of space.")

I think the ones pertaining to the jobs, which for most of us is flash, photoshop or fireworks, dreamweaver or golive, illustrator or frreehand, a 3d program, quark indesign or pagemaker and the languages that should be it, thats all most compnies are looking for I think putting every frikin program you opened like mspaint is kind of asinine. just my opinion.

I agree. There's no use fluffing up the "technical skills" by putting every single application in opened up.
In regards to the languages, I'd really like to add actionscript, applescript and C++ somewhere ... I'm just not sure if this information belongs with the application knowledge section (such as photoshop, illustrator and so on...)
I'd like to just slap it in with the languages (with french and english)
what do you think?

i would think c++ and actionscript, etc.. would be under a 'programming languages' heading or something like that. i put them under a new heading by the applications i know. i think its kind of silly to say i speak english and lingo.....
- DenisLirette0
heheh ... yeah, i does look kinda dumb.
thanks for the tip.
- DenisLirette0
"it" does look kinda dumb.
sorry, it's monday.

i knew what ya meant, yo

um... actionscript, c++ and applescript are most certainly not the same language. they share similar syntax (ECMAscript-based), that's it. and actionscript isn't a server side language, that's crazy! it has nothing in common with JSP, ASP, PHP, etc. if you put stuff like that on your resume nobody will take you seriously.
- DenisLirette0
I'm not trying to say that I know all of those languages because they are similar. I have learned them individually, and even though C++ might not be seen as very useful for a design studio, I still have that knowledge.
I feel I should still include them in the resume, under some "technical language" heading.

it totally makes sense to put those skills on your resume, just don't call them the wrong thing (server-side for instance) or people will think you don't know what you'r talking about, you know?
