    And should actually list your accomplishments at each company, not your duties. Let your prospective employer now how you are going to make them more money.

    Group all your high-profile clients under their own heading and make that one the first things they read. Skills should be closer to the top, education closer to the bottom.

    And get rid of the fuzziness around the text. It won't print that well anyway.

      Thanks, Adam! Could you give me an example of what you mean by accomplishments? I'm think that you mean something along the lines of hard facts (ie, created flyers for an event that had record attendance, etc). Not sure if I would be able to get those from past employers, if they existed.

      I haven't done any work for high-profile clients just yet, as I just graduated a few months ago. I think I'll have a look around the net at other designer's resumes and see if I can figure out what the best order is to put the content.
