Description:

Goals of this resume: 1. Must be printable in black & white on one page. 2. Make visual sense of non-traditional job & education patterns. A resume for the 21st century. Benefits: 1. It's easy to compare the length of time you've spent in various professional & educational pursuits. 2. Your cross-cultural / global work experience is put in visual context. 3. Your educational activities are grouped visually to emphasize their duration and content, and de-emphasize ceremonial end-points ("the degree"). This is just a first attempt, to get feedback and new ideas. I expect the best solutions to be anticlimactic: simple designs that attract as little attention as possible. As Edward Tufte says, "The resume is a document, not a design statement. The design should not attract attention; the design of a resume should be straightforward and harmless. That is the best that resume design can do: straightforward and harmless."
