Resumes

I'm 21. I'm a senior in college and one of my main focuses is finding a job. As a graphic artist, I want to be able to put my skills not only in my resume but on it. I want a potential employer to be able to see some examples of my work on my resume. At the same time, I don't want my resume to look too "showy". I checked around and found some resources that look helpful.

Boarding Passes

I was on StumbleUpon and I found this awesome page. It shows graphic ideas on how to enhance boarding passes and make them easier to read.
