thanks for all the comments. they are great and very useful.
I think it's important to have a resume ready. most jobs still ask for a resume so i guess it's just a formality.
thanks

I like the 2006 better so far. Looks fresher and more up to date. Keep working on that one.

Definately the 2006 version.

Not sure about stateside, but in the UK people always seem to want to see projects on your CV / resumé...especially if you're going through agents and whatnot. I'd rather just show a coulpe of images but some recruitment agents are keen for you to show all your best work...which sucks because then you have fuck all to show at the interview. I guess the more you work though, the less the CV is relevant and more the people you know....
And the 2006 one is loads better.

".. highly interested".
I would change that.

A head shot is sufficient. If there is a bunch of resumes on my desk, the one to be remembered is the one most "personal"

(Jun 18 06, 17:23)If I were a hiring manager at a design firm or any corporate art/marketing dept. for that matter, and someone gave me a resume with a self-portrait, I'd turn it into a paper airplane and light it on fire shortly before throwing it out the window.

putting a self portrait is no no. unless you are a super hot girl and people reviewing your resume are male.

the next time I re-up my resume, instead of a cover letter I will have an 8.5" x 11" full-bleed portait of myself, and the resume will be set in Comic Sans for headers and Times for body copy.
The only skill I plan to include is "Vast experience in Night Moves".
Also considering a corresponding soundtrack.
