do a search.. there has been threads about this .. but i th ink it might focus on 1 page porfolios more?
- KevinTx0
yeah, i searched before I posted. Nothing helpful..

word... i'd be interested in seeing some as well in that regard.
do you write out descriptions from each of your positions of type of work it entailed or just list: agency, time there, position?
- KevinTx0
well.. like i said this is my first resume and i am using it to look for an internship. Its kinda like shopping for a new car with no credit history :)

haha exactly. i'm about to graduate and am wondering how slim i can get my resume... no descriptions = less shit

hey MLP.. i just found Mike Ley's resume from your site. Is that yours? Thats what I am looking for.

if it's your first resume out of school it's going to be short, so keep it just to the details of your experience, not descriptions and what type of work you did.
maybe try to give an insight into yourself as a new designer, and what your ambitions are.

yeah that's me.
i need to slim it down... too wordy.this is my first resume out of school, but i've had 5 internships and 1 job... so its gonna be a little longer.
