It’s a little like someone applying for a web design role who has no idea what web standards are, or even how to hand code web documents…
If you are applying to make coffee for someone, how you format your résumé probably doesn’t matter. If you are applying to assist a so-called art director, however, even one who refers to herself as “so-called,” I suggest that you put a little bit of thought into your presentation. I’m not talking about fancy (though I admit that I did squeal when I got a square résumé; cute!), I’m talking about competent. If the job description recommends that you have an interest in typography, you might want to try to look like you know what the word means.






Thanks for that, it was very entertaining!
