I like your images, they look good.

I hate your font, you should change it to a readable one. check out www.dafont.com

I would like to see you structure your written stuff so it is much clearer. What does Phi Tran mean? Is that your name? If so you need a stratgey for making that obvious. I know it is small due to image restrictions but we can't read your text at all. Can you post in text form and we'll check it for you too.

Too often (I did it when I first looked for a job too) students try and hide their lack of experience - but actually it can be plus for many practices - who like to get them when they are still young and unpoluted - easier to indoctrinate :D:D

oh and employment is plural already so you don't need an S

ps. get yourself a proper email address for work your.name at gmail.com or so

I believe that you should mention your other work experiences. This shows you know what its like in the working world and you were willing to put in an effort to support yourself and go to school.

As far as the resume: I like the creativity and it obviously shows you have design ability. The font doesn't bother me as long as it can be easily read (its difficult to tell at this scale)... a resume should be read quickly and easily. Do you plan on having a cover letter as well? It's a bit vague as far as what you might actually be applying for (I would guess to be a designer, but I'm not certain).

+ do you have suggestions on which fonts are more readable? i've used futura before, so i might switch back to that. just wondering.


+working on a new email.


thanks.


+ i'll post my texts on here too i guess. i hate texts. the ones on the two pages with the projects... might have to be disregarded... they are from the actualy project descriptions. i am using them temporarily until i can work out what the hell to put with those images.

Stunning works. First project rembers me on OMA in a wider thought way, good photos, renderings, professional layout. creative guy.:)
it`s good to be young, so you`re hungry and have energy.:D

Mention your jobs!- and if you did promotion jobs. Other jobs are "soft skills" and mean that you are open minded and will to work, f.e. promotion: ...and like to work with people, communicate, have talent for business, people2people marketing, direct speech...


So don`t hide anything, be yourself and show your talents.;)

you won velux? I like the font. It`s a computer style, technical one. It`s a good one.
