Resume Week!

Hello Students!

This week you'll be working on your Artist Resume. Like the Artist Biography and the Artist Statement, your resume is an exercise in creative imagination. Remember: You are around 30 years old, the year is 2033, and you have experienced success in your chosen art and design field since you graduated from DCAD in May of 2024. 

Your resume in 2033 will not mention experiences you had when you were in high school. Time moves on.

I think these examples from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh are good, if not inspired, models of successful art-field resumes. 

Your resume needs to fit one page and it can't include a headshot or depiction of what you look like. This is for HR and diversity reasons.

Some people in creative fields use "creative resumes" that don't follow the basic look and feel of a traditional text-based resume. You should be aware of this approach, but for this assignment, it is probably smart to go the traditional route. These are very time-intensive design projects. Take a look.
