Resume Writing Services for Creative Professionals
»
There’s a lot of competition out there for creative jobs. Thankfully, we’re here to help.

How we write resumes for creative jobs
The process at StandOut Resumes is straightforward and super-efficient. When you sign up for a resume package, you’ll be asked to submit a job posting you are interested in, as well as your most current resume. Then, soon after, you’ll chat with a resume writer who specializes in creative professionals, and they will ask you for any additional information they need to write a personalized resume that will set you apart from the competition. Here are some strategies our writers use to create top-quality resumes:

  • Identify keywords. Send a specific job posting to your StandOut resume writer, and they will scour it for important keywords to include throughout your new resume. The employer has already told you what they are looking for, and our writers are experts at describing your work experience and other qualifications in terms that align with those needs.  

  • Tailor work history to the desired job. Often, creative professional resumes can seem a bit all over the place. For example, on the road to becoming an illustrator, you might have worked in retail stores, nannied, and/or taken multiple unpaid internships or apprenticeships in addition to individual contract projects. Rather than leaving gaps on your resume for jobs that don’t seem relevant, your StandOut resume writer will draw out the relevant details, showing recruiters and employers the skills you have developed throughout your work history and how they will make you a great employee or contractor.

  • Organize information in an effective, eye-catching way. Though it may be tempting to jazz up your resume with colorful graphics or other style elements, that can be a turn-off to certain recruiters and employers. Our writers who specialize in creative professions are experts in resume design and will work with you to craft a finished product that is reflective of your unique creative talents but also–most importantly–easy for recruiters to read and navigate.  ​​

Common Questions & Answers

»   How do you write an artist resume?


Always start with a specific job listing, identify all the keywords (skills and other qualifications the employer is looking for), and then present your work history with those keywords in mind. For example, if you’re applying for a position as an artist-in-residence at a university, highlight any education-related or mentoring-related experience you gained from your previous positions. Finally, make sure that you read the application directions thoroughly and submit everything the employer or recruiter has asked for in the specified format. You may also need to create a portfolio of your work and upload it to a certain online platform.

»    How do you write a graphic designer resume?


First, identify the most important keywords from the listing for the job you want. These are the must-have skills and qualifications the employer is looking for. Next, tailor your descriptions of current and previous jobs with those keywords in mind. For example, if you are applying to be a graphic designer for a medical company, highlight any other projects (freelance, volunteer, etc.) that you have completed for similar organizations or businesses. Finally, make sure you follow the application directions and submit your resume, cover letter, and any required examples of your work in the format the employer or recruiter has requested. >

»   What skills should creative professionals include on their resumes?


In addition to any required skills mentioned in the job description, it is usually helpful to highlight your proficiency in related software or mediums that might relate to the specific job, as well as more general qualities like people and communication skills, ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines, organization, and time management.
