I finally coughed up the $20 to get the ads off the bottom of my emails.
Maybe this will keep me out of the spam/junk pile when I try to send
stuff!
Patrick and I are polishing our credentials, these days... and I'll
confess that I haven't written a real resume in years. I've googled and
printed a few examples, for style and contents... (if you type "art" and
"faculty" and "resume" you get some familiar clayarters!)
I promise I won't trot mine out here.. but does anybody have a resume
that they are quite pleased with, as far as format and layout? I've seen
some that could fill a three ring binder (lists of shows, awards, etc.)
but am looking for something a little more condensed, and a bit
artier/more academic in focus than the standard corporate issue.
(I actually used to teach resume writing as part of a business writing
class, but that was 1993... the world has changed since then.)
If you'd like to post me off list with a link to your resume, I'd be
grateful. If anybody has more general tips, that's good, too!
Thanks, all...
Yours
Kelly in Ohio... determined not to wave my job hunting flag on clayart..
but who would know better than clayarters how to put together a good
resume? (I got good advice last year on my way-too-long artist's
statement.)
Now, Patrick Green -- his flag I WOULD wave. He came from Dave McBeth's
program with a head full of useful stuff, and has taught me a LOT while
we've been studio mates these last two years. Plus he's young, single,
and mobile... soft spoken, all cattle and no hat for a change. I don't
know if he can throw with his feet like Dave, but he makes nice pots,
knows his shinos, can build or fix anything, and could lift a cement
truck with one hand behind his back...

Dear Kelly: I just spent about 3 days redoing my shine sheet after
about 30 years of neglect. I went as far as visiting a government
service here to get tips on the right way to do things. Firstly, there
is a difference between a resume and a CV. A resume is under 2 pages
and is supposed to be like a business card or sales pitch. The visual
arts are more apt to require a CV which can be up to 4 pages. It will
list all your regional, national and international exhibitions,
teaching, commissions, collections, awards and recognition by
important institutions and agencies.
My daughter told me not to use Times Roman because everyone else does.
A small detail but I think perhaps valid. We are visual artists and
must appear to be different from the pack.
Why don't you sign up for Skype and I'll phone you. Also my CV is now
in your mailbox.
Best of luck,
Tony
P>S I got a call tthe other night on Skype from Clayarter- Tumblestack
in Cochrane ,Alberta. We chatted for 20 minutes for free!
