Now it is time to take all the hard questions and find the thread that connects them. The prompts would be a working model to then create an un-résumé.

Most importantly you are trying to hit a semiotic home run. Something that connects your skills with the format you chose or shines your capabilities. Show don’t tell.

Some examples:

• Choosing to create a coloring book un-resume would show you help de-stress people.

• A baseball card is semiotic of how you work in a team.

We are aware that there are certain boundaries to work within the current system. Some of those BOUNDARIES may include:

• Must be transmittable by email

• Should probably be Word- and PDF-compatible

• Not to exceed one page (some portion of this must be one shareable page)

• Reasonable margins and type sizes

• Not more than two typefaces

• Must clearly show your name and contact info

We provide a handful of inspirations but the possibilities are endless.
