nothing is wrong - what are you scared of?
I'm working on a resume for a photography internship this summer. Any tips on shining it up or anything? style tips or content- anything really?

Never really wrote one before for anything other than school :o

preferred resume style seems to be fairly dependent on the field. i know how to write a decent work-related resume, and i know how to do academic resumes (curriculum vitae).

if you post one up, i can give some constructive criticism, if you'd like.

I could send you a copy of mine if you want. that's basically how I did mine. looked at a few other peoples' and took what looked good.

I also had someone look over it for me. an "older professional" sort of person. they gave me some helpful tips. I doubt I still have the e-mail they sent me though.

looks really nice. kind of hip-feeling, if you know what I mean. my resume looks like a boring Word document, which is exactly what it is.

yeah ditto, mine looks like a cookie-cutter word doc. I have one I'm sketching up in LaTeX but I'm not lovin' the content at all.

argh

finance summer recruiting season is just kicking up.

i got my hair cut today. i told the girl that i have a job interview with a bank next week and she gave me a business haircut (e.g. http://static-p1.fotolia.com/photos_mini/2007 … zeoy8H.jpg )

which is a striking difference from the shag i normally rock. oh well. and it actually isn't a bank, it's a private equity firm, but i don't think she would have minded.

and as soon as this one is over i have about ten more lined up (supposing i don't get it).

and i've been slaving over my resume for the past few hours. just what i wanted to do on a saturday night.

i can write probably 3-4 templates (to reflect the size of the organization) and modify sentences to suit the individual characteristics of employers, so yes, thankfully.
