The resume redesign by Eric Leeuwenberg

When you apply for a job,

your resume gets put away on a high pile.

Why? Because it looks dull.

Then it's about

time to redesign

you resume.

Get noticed!

Sick and tired

of being rejected

over and over

again?

...and I willexplain howI redesignedmy resume.

I mademy own resumelook like this...

It's adescription

of the processI'd been going

through.

I openedmy resume and

set the pageto “landscape”

The documentopened “full

screen” in a PDFviewer and fit in

the monitor.

I made onlyfive sections on

only onesingle page:

– Personal info– Experience– Jobtarget...

However, it stilllooks dull.Let's start

the facelift !

I saved it toPDF-format and set the optionsto “Fit Width”

...– PC skills– Education

The resume redesign by Eric Leeuwenberg

I had an idea about a sunset and a skyline, a Rotterdam skyline, so

I surfed the internet looking for visuals andI waved the web grabbing for graphics.

I needed someclouds...

I found thissunset on

http://bit.ly/1Uv4LjI

…and I neededa skyline...

...and I neededanother one.

The resume redesign by Eric Leeuwenberg

The basic ingredients were collected.I opened the sunset image in a photo editor

and started to edit and to create a new image.

I began to position the sun

and then

I pasted theskyline and

turned it intoa silhouette

I pasted theclouds and I

mirrored theminto the water.

I put a framework

Thesunset skyline

image was set as background.

Et voilà,the resume

was restyled!

I placedthe text

relative to thebackground

I used aninterestingslogan toexit the

document

I used atimeline instead

of yearsand months

I left spacesempty so nice

parts keptvisible.
