Hey there, awesome readers! Buckle up as I take you on a wild ride through the creative chaos of my unconventional resume journey. From staring at blank pages to embracing beach vibes, this story is a rollercoaster of quirky decisions and unexpected accomplishments.
The Blank Page Stare-down 😬
We all know the daunting feeling of staring at a blank screen, wondering if a one-pager can truly encapsulate our awesomeness. Spoiler alert: It can, but the journey to that realization? Ah, that’s a story.
Distracting Myself with Digital Doodles 🎨
Enter the world of digital illustration — a magical distraction from the overwhelming resume dilemma. Instead of battling traditional formats, I chose to dance with creativity and draw… myself, on a beach, in a bikini, living my best life. Because why not?
“Wait, Isn’t This Too Casual?” 🤷♀️
You’re probably raising an eyebrow, and you’d be right! Is a beach scene too casual for a resume? Perhaps. But, as you’ll soon discover, that’s where the magic lies.
The Night of Creative Madness 🚀
Fueled by bursts of creative madness, I boldly slapped that unconventional illustration onto my resume. A gamble? Oh, absolutely. But in the grand scheme of things, why not turn a resume into a litmus test?
Cue the Mixed Reviews 🤨🚀
Ah, the drama! Trusted friends gave mixed reviews. Some raised eyebrows in skepticism, while others raised the roof in excitement. It was a cosmic dance of opinions, and I was here for all of it.
Fast Forward to Success! 🎉
The big reveal, the moment of truth — the quirky beachy resume worked its magic! Bagging me an internship for a graduation project at Design Totke and smoothly paving the way to my first job as a Visual & UI/UX Designer at Translate by Humans x Lingpad
