Presenting your Resume

Good design and formatting speaks about good taste and good taste speaks about good mental and visual aesthetics, and good visual aesthetics is a key quality of excellent photography. Photographers are visual artists, and people that enjoy photography or are in the field of commercializing photography have – by necessity – a strong appreciation for good visual aesthetics. Anyone today understands that having style in the design of marketing promos, business cards, or most important, a well designed online presence is a necessary complement to good photography.
Within this context something that surprises me is why the CV [resume] of candidate is oftentimes just a boring list of exhibits, education and additional experience. It is rare the case when the CV [resume] has been designed with style, even when this is a document that will get you introduced to people who doesn’t know you and will get a first impression of you reading it [in addition to looking at your portfolio].
Why missing the opportunity to be creative with the design and format of the document that speaks about your professional background?

The Skills Summary section of your CV includes your main skills. You should only include keywords in his section, do not go into lengthy descriptions of your skills. The skill summary is also called personal profile.
CV Objective:
The CV Objective, sometimes also referred to as CV Personal Profile states "What is the next step in my career?" This should be a short, concise statement that informs the employer what kind of position you are looking for. The type of position, the role (managerial, supervisor, contractor) should be included as well. If you are job hunting it is a good idea to have several CV's with different profiles or objectives. For example, you can have a CV for a sales supervisor and the other for a shop floor manager. Your 'sales supervisor' CV can highlight achievements in this area, and the CV would be tuned to that particular in terms of job descriptions and achievements.
