Question:
Would it be "ok" to put the design work on the resume with the basic
writing, especially since I write in conjuction with the design work?
Answer:
-I use the same basic resume outline for most of the positions I apply
for. It has a chronological listing of employers since many
recruiters and HR departments now automatically reject applicants
with gaps in their job histories, and I put my freelance business,
MasterWork Consulting, at the top. I customize this basic outline
for each position, selecting projects for each employer that match
the requirements of the job I'm applying for. For technical writing
jobs, I select a variety of TW projects. For editing jobs, I
emphasize projects that showcase my editing skills. For web design
and web content development jobs
-I put my published short stories at the very end of my resume, along with a
few other non-IT items, just in case one of them might spark a friendly
digression during an interview.
