Hello guys,
Hope everyone is doing great. Haven't had the chance to talk you all in while. Does anyone know where can I find good resume samples for a graphic design. I really need to update mine.
Thanks let me know.

portfolio sites for designers usually have a downloadable PDF resume.
grab as many as you can and you can get a good idea what other people are doing layout wise.

DON'T look at other people's resumes for design "inspiration." You'll only be inspired to rip them off, or at best to come up with something that looks contrived. Believe me—contrived was my middle name circa 2005.

Hello OSFA, I was really trying to avoid answering that question, because it makes me sick to my stomach. I wasn't able to take the program. The reason was stronger than anything I could ever expect, and makes me really sad, because I waited a long time for a chance.
- Damn! I am sorry to hear that brotha'... That must've sucked... but hey, things happen for a reason. Sorry.OSFA

Use your design skills to make a usable document. Think about what an employer would want to see (as far as accessing the pertinent information, not style-wise) and it will be pretty straight forward.

I looked at the collection more to see what not to do. I just kept it very simple, maybe borrowed a couple of bits of wording. I was in a hurry. Fuck you, Candy.

What Im actually look for is the wording it self. I already have a nice layout which will pretty simple. I looked at some right now and they are over done.
- keep it formal but not anal. Don't put 'impossible is nothing' is what I'm trying to say.Jnr_Madison
- Also, make sure your contact details are very easy to find at a glance.Jnr_Madison
