ORIGINAL BRAND STATEMENT Specializing in visual storytelling and collaboration, I am passionate about creating thought-provoking and community engagement experiences. I aspire to merge my past experience of psychology, photojournalism, lm production, and customer service into a career in User Experience.

I have submitted my original resume and the rough draft of my new one. I am mostly concerned about layout, the ratio of what to keep and what to add. I need direction in organizing all my past experience.
I want to make a compelling case highlighting as seen in this infographic... journey

I would love my resume to take the best qualities of these 3:

UX Resume's I love: Mariam Bederu Resume.pdf I love the white space Elise+Ansher+-+Resume+2017.pdf Minus the alinement of some of here bullets, I feel like it is well-balanced GA vs PAST sandy-woodruff.pdf I like how she has a ton of experience but it still really readable.

Thanks for submitting! I have a few edits and suggestions for you below.

  1. Swap your technical skills and education sections so that your skills are near the top and easy to find. Additionally, you've listed skills under the "training" section that aren't in your technical skills section. If you update that skills section, the training section almost becomes unnecessary.

  2. List UXDI at the top of your experience section, and include your projects there. You've relegated them to the bottom so that it takes a long time to get to it. As you go through the course, be sure to keep it updated.

  3. If you want white space you will have to pare down your content. 3 or so bullet points is generally sufficient for your experience and will give you a little more room. It also makes it really readable. Also in terms of readability, I think reading sideways is really difficult, and a bit distracting. Be really thoughtful about it.

Let me know if you have questions. A

Hi Allyson!

I have been thinking about reaching out to you. I’m so happy to get your feedback. It confirms many of my concerns about my resume. I will be putting in all considerations.

I was wondering what you felt about all my experience being on a 2nd page with 3 bullets. Or a industry- job position summary in graphic format?

But for now I like the approach of building as I go though the course.

Secondly, are you available to edit my blog post if I send them to you? After every project we are required to write about our experience. I use grammerly plug-in but still struggle with my grammer at times. I know you mainly help students with resume and portfolios but would you be able to help me with this as well?

I look forward to hearing from you! Cheers Marie Claire
