good luck on your resume.
just keep everything plain and simple & sectioned off and you should be fine =)

I have a resume. For some reason, they had us make them as a school assignment when I was 14, which I guess was good, since I've applied for 4 or 5 jobs since then. I don't really have any good tips, though...

so good catching up on all your posts from while i was away! your art always inspires me :)

Good luck with the resume. I can't think of any tips off the top of my head, but i'm sure you'll do well :)

P.s Actually! I have thought of a couple I remembered from when i was a manager and what stood out to me about people's resumes i recieved: don't put too much about high school stuff- in the real world it doesn't matter that much, use heaps of white space and bullet points so there's not too much to read and when you take it places make sure it's just stapled together and not in a plastic folder or anything.

Hope that helps!
