[IxDA Discuss] FW: Career: Deep vs Broad Experience

[Mark Schraad]

I would take this a step further. A single resume is not enough. You need an introductory resume with a quick list of youir top accomplishments. One to hand over durring an interview - often a timeline of recent positions showing career progress. And, likely a comprehensive multi-page resume with great detail (think vitæ). 

Additionally - an online resume is different than the one you send - or the one you fax. Use your contextual design expereince and think about how each would be handed, read and reference in the specific context. There is not much more important a design project than this.

Also -  make very sure you have a couple of good detail folks proof read everything multipe times. Good luck.
