Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

You’re more than what you make.

Your productivity does not determine your value.

It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.

Not everything you do has to result in a product.

Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.

You can make things just for yourself.

You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.

You’re allowed to say no.

You’re allowed to rest.

Resume Basics

having a strong resume is crucial for job applications, scholarship applications, college, etc. it is a sales tool and, ultimately, the first impression an employer/application reviewer will have of you. therefore, you need to make it interesting and impressive. below, i have listed a few tips and need-to-knows to help you build your resume. keep in mind that this list is geared toward industry jobs. while the information is still useful, it may be less relevant for those applying to digital marketing/design jobs. 

General

make different versions of your resume. by this i mean, have a master resume that lists everything. then, from that master resume, make specific resumes for each opportunity you are applying for. 

in high school/university, it is usually best to keep your resume to one page. unless you have done substantial work and are capable of filling up two pages, it is best to keep it short and concise.

always review your resume before submitting !! it is crucial that your resume does not include any typos 

Formatting 

keep your formatting consistent throughout your entire resume

use 11-12 point font, your name/headers should be no bigger than 14 point font

have a 1 inch margin all around your resume

do not include decorations (unless you are applying to a digital marketing/design job where aesthetics matter !!)

keep your font selection professional. my personal favorites are times new roman, garamond, and helvetica.

do not use caps unless it is for headers/titles (but even then, use caps at your own discretion)

Sections/Components to Include

name & contact info (phone number, email)

summary/3-5 second snapshot of your greatest accomplishments

job/internship/related experience

publications & speeches

awards & recognitions

memberships & affiliations

certifications

language skills

special/technical skills

extracurricular activities

Synonyms/Power Words

instead of “new,” use “unusual” or “innovative”

instead of “improved,” use “better” or “faster”

assessed/measured/quantified

conducted/performed/undertook

created/designed/developed

optimized/maximized

increased/reduced

spearheaded/led/directed

~~~

please let me know if you found this helpful !! i would love to post more comprehensive tips on cover letters, interviews, networking, developing your linkedin, etc.

The "Secret" To Doing Well in School:

Start on day one and don’t stop until you’re done.

As much as you will want to go hang out with your friends the second you get out of class on the first day, resist it. Head to the library, your room, or wherever else it is you get work done and just do it. On the first day you will have such little work to do that it will seem too insignificant to start right away. However, this helps set up the rest of the semester for you. If you can get in the habit of this before the work load gets daunting then procrastination will no longer be an issue. Sit down after your classes and finish all your work (or make a plan on how to finish it) before you relax. Simple as that. Do that and cramming will no longer be your life. If you think that’s too overwhelming, try challenging yourself to do that for 30 days. After the 30 days it will become a habit!

But maybe you’re of the opinion that procrastination is fine and that you do pretty well regardless. That’s fine. But think of how much easier studying would be if you didn’t procrastinate. By the end of week one you would have all of week one’s material down pat. You would have the opportunity to quickly review in the coming weeks instead of still struggling to learn it all. Then come the weekend before the test you will simply be reinforcing what you already know instead of struggling to have complete knowledge of what you’ll be tested on.

Boom. That A is easily within reach.

The culture behind procrastination unfortunately only ends up feeding the habit. The idea that procrastination is just a thing that everyone does and jokes around about is the worst part. Well, it’s time to take it seriously! There actually is no secret to doing well in school! You already know what you need to do. So start doing it!
