You need to understand your audience, what they're looking for and what their experience will be. If your resume is illegible when printed, I lean towards immediate rejection.
Agreed. Ive looked at hundreds of designers resumes, and have rejected some right away for just that reason. Dont make me work for it.
For a designer, I expect to see an online or PDF portfolio of work, not super concerned with what the resume looks like.
30 seconds with someones portfolio I can pretty much give it a thumbs up or down.
my for resumes advice: make it whatever, and print out before you send it to make sure its readable. Make sure the fit to page option is checked.
depending on the size of the company applying to, resumes might got to HR first. highly possible they print out the good candidates and those get passed on to whomever.
pop over to something like creative market and check their resume section, find something you like and download the low rez preview... then copy layout
