20+ Tips for Writing A Remarkable Resume in Today’s Creative World

20+ Tips for Writing A Remarkable Resumein Todays Creative World

Posted by Assaf Avni[1] on Oct 22, 2011 in Best of[2] | Comments Off

The title of this post suggests that todays world is somewhat different fromyesterdays world, and that it is more creative. Before we explore this notion, letslook at the definition of the word creativity. Most dictionaries or academicresearchers of creativity will agree creativity is the process of generating ideas,that are both (a) novel (new) and (b) useful for (c) solving problems.

To be remarkable (i.e. worth making a remark about[3]) your resume should besomewhat different from everyone else. If you aspire to be remarkable, you haveto be different (i.e. novel) and your resume must be useful (for the person readingit) and solve a problem (i.e. you getting that amazing job). While most people thinkabout art when it comes to being creative, this post will follow the traditionaldefinition of creativity (novel, useful, solving a problem) to make you shine brighterand your resume, a star.

If on the other hand, you dont think todays world is any different than yesterdays

world and that your resume should follow traditional (may I say old-school?)resume-writing-advices you once got from an HR director or a career counselor,watch the following video:

Daniel Pink, the author of A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rulethe Future[4]:

Before we start with actual tips, let me suggest a possibility, that every piece ofadvice you ever got about how to write a resume (or about anything else really)could be 100% true and 100% false at the same time. What I mean is, for theperson who came up with that advice, it might have been a great one. For you, onthe other hand, this advice might be a really bad one. Why you ask? (1) They maybe different people than you are, (2) working in a different environment or industry,(3) they may be more concerned with practicality (like how your resume will bescanned) vs. likability or remarkability.

Watch Seth Goodin, the Author of Purple Cow: Transform Your Business byBeing Remarkable[5]:


(this is a short excerpt from his 20 minutes TED presentation[6])

Tip #1 Dont Listen To Every Advice You Get (including this one):

As a rule of thumb, when someone gives me advice, I always ask why? (as in,why is that a good advice?). If their explanation makes sense to me sure, Illfollow their advice. But many times, the original reasons for that advice may notapply to me or may be irrelevant, outdated or serve someone elses benefit ratherthan mine.


Be a critical thinker. Always ask why. If the explanation doesnt makesense to you, dont follow that advice.

Tip #2 Rethink The Purpose of a Resume:

Most people think the purpose of a resume is to get you a job. Wrong; the purposeof a resume is to get you an interview. Similarly, most people think the purpose ofan interview is to get you the job. Wrong again.

The purpose of an interview is to connect with a human being (i.e. the interviewer)on a personal level and leave a remarkable impression on them.

Personal connection, remarkable impression and likability will get youa dream job, not the resume or the interview.

Tip #3 Brand YOU:

Read Seth Godins little blurb about superpowers[7] and tell me whats yoursuperpower? Whats yor USP (Unique Selling Proposition)?

Come up with that one amazing idea that will make you unforgettable.Its hard not to hire someone you cant get off your mind.

The first thing on your resume should be your name (dash) your brand. BIG. BOLD. Job titles can be sort of a branding statement (e.g.John Doe Copywriter) but a smarter branding statement would be to actuallybrand the essence of who you are (in regards to what they need from you, ofcourse). Think values and skills rather than job titles.


Art Director is a title Visual Thinker is a skill. Account Planner is a title CulturalCurious or Cultural Maven is a value.

People are more likely to hire you for your skills and values, ratherthan for your title.

Plus, youre communicating that you are creative, unique, and passionate aboutthese values/skills.

Instead of trying to convey youre good at everything, emphasize afew areas where youve accomplished the most

Tip #4 Leave Something For The Second Date:

Most people believe they should write as much information about themselves aspossible in a resume. They dont want to omit anything, thinking more is better. Ifyou agree with tip #2, that the purpose of a resume is to get you an interview


rather than a job, then you might want to think of a resume as a first-date.

Weve all been there a horrifying first date, where the other side just wont stoptalking about themselves; and the more they talk, the more you dont want to seethem again. On the other hand, weve all experienced an amazing first date, whichleft us wanting to know more about the other person.

Similarly, if the purpose of a resume is to get you a second date (an interview)rather than marriage (long-term career), you want to leave the other side curiousand wanting to know more about you.

In addition, the more information you have on your resume, the more likely you areto decrease the value of brand YOU (by saying something they dont want to hear,something they dont care about, in a way they dont like, etc). If you include verylittle information about yourself, on the other hand, they might not get the essenceof brand YOU, which isnt a good thing either. The solution:

Your resume should have the least amount of information that willmake you a star.

The same goes for a Portfolio, by the way (adverting, design, etc). If I see threeamazing campaigns in your portfolio, Ill think youre a star. But if I see threeamazing campaign, plus two just-ok ones and one bad one, Id think youre just ok.

Tip #5 Dump The Objective:

Dont tell me what your objectives or aspirations are, tell me who you are. I oftensee people (especially students) add an objective paragraph to their resume (e.g.OBJECTIVE: to find a job as a Jr. Art Director). Some take it to the next level anduse the word aspiring (e.g. John Doe Aspiring Art Director).

I dont want to hire someone whos objective or aspiration is tobecome something they are not yet.

I want to hire someone who has the confidence to see themselves as their brand,even if they dont have 20 years of experience in that profession. When Ill readyour resume, Im likely to see that you dont have the 20 years experience, but Illalso perceive you as a passionate person who knows where youre going. Ill knowyou are determined and focused and thats the kind of person I want to hire.


The metaphor I like to use comes from the world of personal relationships. ItsFriday night, you go out and meet an interesting guy/gal. What would you think ofthem, if they came to you and said: yeah, um, I think Im ok in relationships orwell I kinda wanna be great in relationships rather than them presentingthemselves as someone whos great in relating to other people? You might notknow them yet, youre definitely not in a relationship with them yet, but youre morelikely to go out with them if youd get the sense their most important value/skill istheir ability to relate to people.

Tip #6 Aim To The Right Target:

HR people might tell you objectives are important on a resume but thats onlybecause their job is to file your resume in the right box or put it on the right desk.What if you find a way for your resume to reach the right desk without HR?

HR is not your target audience; avoid them as much as possible. If you want to bean art director or a copywriter, the creative director or the creative recruiter areyour target audience. If you want to be an account planner, the group accountplanner is your target audience.

Find out whos making the final hiring decision, not whos in charge of filtering, andtarget your resume to them.

With that said, the cover letter is a great place to clarify what position youreapplying for. If your resume starts with the headline John Doe Cultural Geek,make sure your cover letter clearly states that youre interested in that Jr. AccountPlanning position.

Tip #7 The FedEx Rule When You Absolutely, Positively Have to Be Thereon Time:


Online sources claim employers spend an average of 20 seconds on each resumethey read. I dont know if this is based on an actual study, but from my experience,if you get more than 30 seconds, consider yourself lucky. Im pretty sure theyspend more time reviewing your resume in details before you come to theinterview, but during the filtering process, 10-30 seconds sounds about right to me.

I would go further and say most people dont even read your resume;. skimmingthrough would be more like it. Now, what do you do when you skim through atextbook? You read the headlines, the bullet points, right? Well, what if yourresume had only headlines and bullet points? Boom boom boom, straight to thepoint, easy to read, creative, quick, etc.

If you make your resume skimmable, it doesnt have to be readable.

Make it easy for them to get all the information by skimming through your resume.One-liners are best. Think twitter every new bit of information is 140 character orless.

Tip #8 Tell Me First or Last Ill Remember it Better:


Teachers, professional presenters or speech writers, willall tell you people remember best what you present to them first and then what youpresent to them last; They least remember everything in the middle. Thats whythey call it first impression or last impression but not middle impression.

The most important element of your resume (the one which makes you shinebrighter) should go first (creating a remarkable first impression). The second mostimportant element should go last (leaving the reader impressed, curious andwanting to know more). Everything else should go anywhere in between.

People are more likely to remember the first thing and the last thingsthey hear/read about you.

Tip #9 Structure:

If you want to have the least amount of information that will make you shinebrighter, the structure of your resume should be super simple and skimmable. Idrecommend having only four main categories: Education, Experience, Skills, andLife.

If your education section is more impressive than your experience section, put itfirst, and vice versa. In the creative sector (any job focused on generating newideas), awards are sometimes more important than education. If you wonimpressive awards, honors or other forms of recognition, which are directly relatedto the position youre applying for, Id add an Awards section before education orexperience. If the awards are not directly related to the position, but are worthmentioning, Id put them under the Life section.

If you agree with the previous tip, that first and last impressions are more importantthan anything in the middle, a good structure to follow is:

What What did you do? (job title, position, etc)


Where & When Where & when did you do it? (name of the company or institutionand time frame)Why (in bullet points) Why should I care? That is to say, what did you do forthem, that you can do for me?

Tip #10 Visualizing The Structure:

If you agree that a simple and quick structure will help your resume bemore skimmable, theres an easy way to do it visually.

English is read from top-left to bottom-right. Structuring yourinformation in stairs-like shape will help the reader find theinformation they need, while still being able to skim through it.

A good visual structure for every section of your resume will look like this:

[11]

[12]


* Note: the actual lines on the left example are to show you the indentation; Iwouldnt actually have them in my resume.

Tip #11 Education:

Following the previous tip, a good structure for your education section might looklike this:

BA in MarketingCalifornia State University, Fullerton, May 2014

GPA 3.9President of the Marketing AssociationCaptain of the football team

My assumption is that if youre applying for a position in marketing, the fact thatyou have a BA in marketing is more important than where you got it from or when.The first line in the example above is the what, the second is the where & whenand the 3 bullet points are the why.

GPA below 3.5 doesnt make you a star; dont put it on your resume. Instead, ifyour GPA in Major is 3.5 or above, put that one.If you have (or getting) a BA/BS from a university, dont list past associatedegree or community college education (unless they make you shine brighterthan your university education). Same goes for high school.Phrases like: Expected Graduation Date or Graduated in are redundant. Ifyou write May 2014 and were in 2011, Ill know youre still a student. Viceversa, if you write May 2009, Ill know you already graduated.Similarly, spelling out Bachelor of Arts is a long way of saying BA.Instead of listing relevant coursework under education, list the skills yougained from these courses under the Skills sections.

Im not interested in knowing you took a typography class; I want toknow you master typography.

Tip #12 Experience:


Dont tell me only your previous job titles. I cant learn much about you or yourskills from your job titles. Identify and quantify your past accomplishments insteadof listing a general job descriptions. In other words:

Tell me what you did for them, that you can do for me. Be specific andquantify as much as you can.

For example, instead of writing:

Cashier and Shift ManagerStarbucks, Los Angeles, 2001-2006

Was in charge of the cash-registerOpened and closed the store dailyServed customers

Write:

Cashier and Shift ManagerStarbucks, Los Angeles, 2001-2006

Managed a weekly budget of $25,000Opened the store on time and always stayed until the last happy customer leftServed 0ver 50 happy customers daily without a single complaint for 5 years

See the difference? The second example communicates so much more about you


than the first one. It tells me you are trustworthy, have a positive attitude,approachable, likable, etc. Most people will write attributes like these under theirSkills section without even giving examples. By writing them under the Whysection of each experience, instead of under the Skills section, you aredemonstrating your skills rather than just saying you have them.

Leave me curious and wanting to know more about those skills andhow you achieved them.

Life experiences are great, even if you didnt get paid for them. Thats why Isuggested the title Experience for this category, and not Work Experience. Ifyou volunteered for a summer camp, for example, you might be great at multi-tasking, solving problems, dealing with demanding customers (kids in thisexample, but still customers). All of these are great skills I would love to knowabout.For each experience listed, add one, two, or maximum three things you did forthem, that you can do for me (the Why). Bullet point style, one line for each. Ifyou list three, put the most impressive first, the second most impressive last,and the least impressive in the middle.

Tip #13 Use Light Humor to Engage Your Reader:

Theres an old-school belief, that a resume must be serious at all times; Id like tochallenge that belief.

Have you seen Roberto Benignis movie Life Is Beautiful (La vita bella)[13]?

If you havent Netflix it today! Its a masterpiece. In any case, the movie was thefirst ever to present the Holocaust and the Nazi regime in a light and funny way. Itwasnt trying to joke about the Holocaust or to diminish its serious and horrificresults. It was attempting to portray the history of events in more humanistic eyes.

Not only was the movie not criticized for using humor, it won a gazillion awardsand I personally havent met anyone who saw it and didnt like it.

Heres another example: Washington Mutual was among the first banks ever (if notthe first) to use humor in their ads:


Before WaMu, advertisers thought banking is a serious business and no onewould like a bank to joke around when it comes to financial services. Again, wrongassumption. After the success of WaMus campaign, many banks followed withtheir own humorous campaigns.


These examples are a testimony that as human beings, we connect better whenhumor is used. And if you subscribe to tip #2, that the purpose of a resume is notnecessarily to present information, but rather to get people to like you enough toinvite you for a second date, humor can definitely make you remarkable.

Back to the resume instead of just having a What':

Server, Amys Ice Cream

Add a humorous Why':Made 50 people smile daily @ Amys Ice Cream

Instead of just having a What':

Sales Manager, McDonalds

Add a humorous Why':Made the big bosses 20% richer @ McDonalds

These can lead to great conversations during your interview and will present youin a positive way, while communicating the what you did for them that you can dofor me.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You dont want to come out as a joker, so keep the humorlight and the language professional.

Tip #14 Your Skills:

In general, skills can be divided into three groups:Skills related to knowledge or intellect, like knowledge of a language, computersoftware, etc.

1.

Skills related to ability or intelligence (that is, putting knowledge into use), likedesign, negotiation, editing, etc, and

2.

Skills related to personality traits, like analytical skills, listening skills, etc.3.

Whichever category it is, you want to make sure:

All skills listed on your resume should be useful and relevant to the


position youre applying for.

That means, if youre applying for a number of positions, each version of yourresume should only include the relevant skills. Why? Remember tip #4 the leastamount of information that makes you a star.

Notes:Microsoft Office or Excel are not a skill; They are software anyone is expectedto master these days. Personally, Id be embarrassed to list them unless Imapplying for a secretarial position.More advanced software (if relevant to the position youre applying for) shouldbe listed, but again, they are not a skill. You mastering them is a skill.I only want to know about the skills that make you a star. If you feel you knowPhotoshop well enough to talk about it during an interview, tell me you masterit. Telling me youre a beginner doesnt make you a star.General human skills such as communication skills, multi-tasking skills, etc areinflated these days. Too many people add these to their resume, making youjust like everyone else if you do too.

Instead of just telling me you have a certain skill, give me an exampleof an achievement celebrating that skill.

For example: instead of writing:Great Communication Skills

Write:Communication As the membership director of the students association, Ivepresented to 100+ participants weekly.

That tells me so much more about your capabilities, and more important, it tells mewhat you did for them that you can do for me.

Tip #15 Life:

This is the one section of your resume where you dont want to use bullet-pointed-one-liners. Located at the bottom of the page, this section is your opportunity toleave a remarkable last impression. Remember what we said at the beginning ofthis guide? Personal connection, remarkable impression and likability will get


you a dream job, not the interview. This section should be one or two paragraphs,in the format of story-telling. People connect with good stories and this is yourchance to show youre a human being and not just another paper resume.

You can talk about your hobbies, countries youve visited, languages you speak(although if relevant to the position, these can also go under skills), anything really,but once again be remarkable.

If you tell me you beat anyone you know in Guitar Hero, I might conclude from thisyou are passionate, goal oriented, enjoy challenges, etc. If you tell me you performat poetry slam open mic gigs every third Tuesday of the month, I might concludeyou are a great communicator, a story teller, can present in front of a largeaudience, risk taker, not afraid of failure, etc.

While this section ends your resume, it should provide a great conversation-starterfor your interviewer. Remember: your goal is to make it easier for them to connectwith you on a personal level.

Tip #16 Dump The References:

Some people add a list of references at the end of their resume or writeReferences available upon request. If you ask any HR director or a recruitingagent about the process of hiring they will tell you that only after a candidate isseriously being considered for a job, they call references. Calling references is thevery last step in a long filtering process.

Adding references to you resume is like brining your mom on a firstdate. Lets get to know each other first before we meet the parents.

Its redundant to list references early in the process and it adds a bunch ofinformation that does not make you a star. With that said, keep a list of referenceson a nicely printed sheet of paper and bring it with you to the interview in case theyask for it.

And a little secret if you hear from your references (after the interview), that theycalled them to ask about you, theres pretty good chance you got job. Most of thetime HR will call references to cover their ass and make sure youre not a criminal.


Tip #17 Copywrite and Art Direct your resume:

You might want to say a lot of things about yourself on your resume (e.g. yourecreative, youre trustworthy, youre goal oriented, etc) and you should, but the mostimportant aspect on your resume should be your brand.

Whether youre a copywriter or not copywrite every aspect of yourresume. Choose every word carefully, edit, re-edit and re-edit again,and again, and then, again.

Ask a designer or an art director buddy to help you with the layout, visuals,typography, etc. Unless youre a designer or an art director, no one is expectingyou to master these, but in the business of communications, they do expect you tocare for how your resume look.

Whether youre an art director or not art direct your resume. Artdirection doesnt mean adding art; it means designing a beautiful andattractive resume.

Much like any other brand, your resume can either increase or decrease the valueof brand YOU with every word, comma, line or color you add. Before you add anyvisual element, you should ask yourself: why should it be there? Is there a reason?Does it make a remarkable point? Does it make me remarkable? Am I/can I/shouldI communicate some of my skills/values visually rather than using words?

Learn the basics of Typography[14], know the difference between Serif andSans Serif.Use Georgia instead of Times New Roman its designed to look better onscreen and its available on most computers.Join the Ban Comic Sans Movement[15] dont use it!Dont use font-size 12; most printed materials (books, newspapers) usefont-size 9-11 (depending on the font).Instead, adjust the leading (line spacing) to 120% if the font size.Clean Up Your Mess[16] will help you apply the principles of good design toyour resume.

Tip #18 Inspire Action by Telling me your Why':


Watch Simon Sineks TED on How Great Leaders Inspire Action and tell me whatsyour personal WHY?

Tell me something about how you see the world, about who you are as a humanbeing, not just as an employee. 99% of resumes dont tell much about the personsattitude, quickness, humor, curiosity, personal manner, what makes them tick, anda few dozen other really important traits. Most people assume these will berevealed at the interview but the truth is I am more likely to call you for an interviewif I perceive you as the human being Id like to connect with.

In advertising, we call this Why Unique Selling Proposition (USP).Whats your USP?

Its always better to demonstrate/show your USP rather than telling/writing about it.If you think youre a great writer, for example, your resume should be a writtentestimony (instead of writing: Great writing skills under the Skills section).Similarly, if your USP is a personality trait show it to me using examples ratherthan telling me about it.

Tip #19 Redundancy:

So often I see redundancy in resumes, and its usually in the small details. Wetalked earlier about making you resume skimmable and a big part of that is gettingrid of any word thats really not needed. Some examples:

Writing Address: just before your mailing address (as if I dont know its an


address), or Email:, or Phone:, or Degree: or, ok, you got the point.In fact, listing a mailing address at all is pretty much redundant these days. All Iget in the mail in the last 5 years are bills and I doubt youll get any letter ofacceptance (maybe a rejection letter, but hey, you probably dont want to getthese any ways If you got the job, youll get a phone call usually and if youwere rejected, they can email you.Listing more than one phone number (like home, cell, work). Why would theyneed anything other than your cell phone? If they cant reach you, theyll leaveyou a voice mail, not turn you down.Writing Objective well, we talked about that in Tip #5. Instead, write yourname, dash (-) your title at the very top of your resume. Bold.Having a title like Relevant Work Experience if its not relevant, why would iteven be on your resume? And why would you want to limit your experiences toonly work related ones? Any experience that makes you shine brighter shouldbe on your resume, even if its a volunteer experience. The title should just beExperience.When the name of an institution you work for (or study at) includes the city it isin, you dont really need to add the city, do you? For example, I teach atCalifornia State University, Fullerton (thats the actual name of the university,CSU have other campuses as well) and its located in You guessed it:Fullerton. No need to write: California State University, Fullerton, Fullerton, CA.Why write Bachelor of Arts, when you can write B.A.? Remember less isGOOD.Under education, I often see students write: Expected Graduation Date: May,2015. If were now in 2014, and you simply write May, 2015 believe me, Illunderstand youre still a student.References Available Upon Request If they need them, theyll ask for them(usually when you come for an interview).Links to your LinkedIn, Facebook, or even MySpace (I swear Ive seen that oneonce profiles. Why? So I can get more information I dont have time to read?Remember, your goal is NOT to provide MORE information but be likable andleave me wanting to know more about you (in an interview, not via social mediasites).Words like: Major in: / Minor in:. Instead, write: California State University,Fullerton Communications/AdvertisingListing months under the dates of your experiences (June 2011 Sept 2014,for example). Dates are on your resume to provide a general time-line and itsreally not important what month you started or finished that job; 2011-2014 isgood enough. The only exception is when you worked somewhere less than a


year; than you can write June-Sept, 2013.

There are probably many more examples you can think of but the rule of thumbshould always be: If I take this word out will they still get what I mean? If theanswer is yes, you probably dont need it.

Tip #20 Get Your Own professionally-looking Email Address:

Listing a Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail address on yourresume doesnt make you shine brighter. Get your own domain name with aprofessional email address. 1and1 always have great deals for $1-$5 per domainname[17]. If you got the domain from 1and1, this tutorial will show you how to setup your email account[18].

Tip #21 Dont believe everything I just told you without asking why andagreeing with it:

Learn from others. Shop around for options. If three people tell you its a horse, tryto ride it, but if you get contradicting advise, own your opinion. Read and Use:
