Do you guys list things you did on your resume, or just titles & agencies? Been at this for 8 years and feel like each job, while different, had me do the same stuff we all know. Feels redundant?

I think it’s redundant a.f. and if you’re sending to a CD you should be fine. Some recruters on the other hand might see you lack “digital production experience in electric Bosnian bicycles” and toss your resume onto the garbage pile.

I’m writing an intro paragraph to cover that since my experience is diverse and I have a lot of skills. Didn’t think I needed to say I did web/video/print at each and every place though! Have another section where I list clients.

I always list clients instead of job duties

I describe the place itself, in case it was a small place people haven’t heard of, then the second sentence says briefly what I did there. Then I list the clients

I include any notable work produced, milestones, honors, challenges tackled, etc. Use your resume as another platform to promote yourself. Just listing agencies and clients is a wasted opportunity.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
