I find your italics to be annoying, and if I didn't know the name of the shows, I feel I would have a
bit of difficulty deciphering them if I was glancing at your resumé.
You're going to need more room, shrink your name and headers as well as your contact information, it doesn't need to be huge, you already got them to look at your resumé. Also a legible but not so ancient font may not be a bad idea to toy with. The stroke for your
line looks way too big to me.
I would dump the "Objective Section" but since you said you are looking for an internship you may want it, but I think that would be more in the
cover letter, and better covered.
Is it still common place to list a number as a
cell if you only list one? When I see only one number I assume it's the number they want me to
call them at, if it's on a resumé I assume it's a
cell. If you had multiple numbers label them, but having "
Cell" there ruins the flow I think.
Your underlining is different between section headers, it looks a little sloppy. On that note, do you really need to emphasize and underline your section headers?
I would put your skills section below your expierience, but that's a personal thing (same with education).
Have you considered changing Lighting Design Expierience to Lighting Design, Lighting Expierience to Electrician, and dividing Technical Experience into
stage management?
Or dividing it by the employer perhaps?
The italics under your Employment section feel the same as the titles above. Also, you have all your dates lined up accept in this section and it looks a little odd.
Overall, I would use a slightly bigger font size, the text looks cramped but then it's all seperated by giant spaces. You might consider bringing it in a little more to make it flow better.
On the subject of flowing better, are the names of the production's months closer in size than fall and spring? If so, using them would make them smoother.
Some things I don't get:
Operation and Programming of
ETC LCD lighting controllers. - Why include
LCD? That doesn't make sense to me.
Knowledge of most 1
channel DMX controlled lighting fixtures. - What Victor said.
Knowledge to repair most 1
channel DMX lighting instruments and ability to construct and repair cable. - See above note.
Ability to use
power tools and construct scenery based on drafting. - I'd sepererate this into two things (expanding on the former half), and state that you have the ability to correctly interpret scenic and construction drawings and diagrams, or something along those lines. Drafting is a verb, you can't properly use it the way you did.
Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and Publisher.
Proficient in Macintosh OS 10.5 and Adobe Photoshop and InDesign.
You can combine these two to say something like, Have sufficient knowledge in the operation of computers in the form of Microsoft Windows and
Mac OSX, as well as the ability to wield Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, Microsoft Publisher, and <insert another program here>. Everyone expects you to know how to use word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation programs, you are just wasting space by saying it.
Scenery construction, oversaw lighting crew, serviced lighting equipment - I'd vote for saying you were a technician.
Maintained equipment, hung, focused and repaired fixtures - Just say you were an electrician.
Constructed cable, hung, focused, and repaired lighting fixtures. - Just say you were an electrician.
And like has been mentioned, you need references.
Resumés are a pain in the
butt, I've gone through a lot and recieved a lot of good help and ideas from people. Your resume is always going to change so don't be afraid to class it up a little, you are a designer after all. You may as well show that you have an eye for more then just light, but don't go overboard, it still has to be legible.
