Phil Conein - Techead President, he will be speaking on what elements make for a good portfolio.

Lauren Bittner - Techead Recruiter, she is speaking on what content makes a good resume.

Sean Cooke - RAUG manager, he will be showing how to make the resume in InDesign CS4 and some Web Portfolio Solutions.

Come out and hear and see what makes a great Resume/Portfolio package from some of the leaders in the creative staffing field. Then watch and learn as we show you some real neat tricks to putting out a clean (and easily updatable) resume and also a web/PDF portfolio.

Also, our main sponsor, Techead, has a great deal for all RAUG members here.

We had a great night, I think everyone walked away with some new insight into Portfolios and Resumes, and that I would not have had a job if Phil Conein had seen my portfolio from years ago.

Some points I want to leave out there for those that did not come:

• Create at least two resumes, one with everything you had ever done in your professional life, and another (or more) specific to the job/employer you are applying to.
• SPELLCHECK!
• Your email that your resume is attached to IS the cover letter.
• SPELLCHECK APPLICATIONS (i.e. QuarkXpress)!
• List the last version you used in the application, Adobe Photoshop CS4, not just Photoshop.
• Use the application names in your job descriptions, not just "I worked as a designer".
• Be descriptive.
• Put Month and Year on job history, not just Year.
• If you Freelance, LIST IT. If you freelanced for 3 years while working a random job, list freelance.
• I learned, I had too many jobs overlapping. So EDIT your moonlighting.
• E-portfolios and Web Portfolios get you in the door, hard copied portfolios get the job.
• Presentation on the web portfolio like easy navigation are a must.
• If you use a template, make sure it does not look like a template.
• Printed portfolios MUST be mounted properly, your Art teacher in high school did know something. Crooked portfolios are a distraction and a job loser.
• NO THEME RESUMES
• Edit your portfolio to about 10 GREAT pieces, not 20 OK pieces.
