EditSteps

  1. 1
    Write down the usual things, such as educational history, professional experience, personal talents, etc. Prepare these in the resume format of choice. While the design of the resume is important in a creative field, the content continues to matter as much as for any job, so be sure that it contains excellent substance.
  2. 2
    When choosing the format, consider how you can make it vary from other standard resume formats.
    • Use a distinctive font that stands out.
    • Use formatting that suggests you've put thought into making the resume different from the norm.
    • Use color judiciously; if done well though, it can be an excellent addition.
  3. 3
    Make it easy to read. This means avoiding things that clutter the resume, such as cartoons, images, curly additions, and too much color.
  4. 4
    Remember to include your awards. These are an important part of proving your wow factor in the creative field, demonstrating that people have liked what you've done so far.
