Traditional Resume by Neb Zewdie

I think the traditional resume’s purpose is clearly to get me hired. But it doesn’t just explain who I am it elaborates on my qualifications and gives my audience, which are the employers trying to hire me, a good impression and idea of what they would be working with. Employers and businesses are basically the only real audience I would try to appeal to for this resume, and with different fonts and sizes and stylizing of my awards and accomplishments makes it more enjoyable to read.

Scannable Resume by Neb Zewdie

For the scannable resume it is obvious who my audience is, just like the traditional resume, the scannable resume looks to appeal to employers and businesses. The big difference between the two resumes is that the scannable resume isn’t meant to be stylized and chic but to give the audience a clear and easy to read message. In case the reader doesn’t have the luxury of time to go through a traditional resume, this is a quick way to still get to know a possible future employer and get the message across.

I feel that my LinkedIn profile has a great purpose of helping improve upon my professional online identity as well as improving my future career. Not only can it give me the opportunity of networking with other Graphic Designers but see how Graphic Designers are doing after college or after a certain amount of years. This could allow me to set goals for myself and see where I am in comparison to other designers. My audience is for anyone mostly for employers and businesses to see my credentials and decide if I am worthy of being hired or not. The purpose of my LinkedIn profile is to hopefully get me hired and understand my skills and abilities like my fellow peers in the field.
