One thing that annoys me to no end when looking over resumes is when the duties of your job are written down, as though you took your job description and copied and pasted into a resume format.
If you're applying for a job I would like to know more than "prepared files for output...cut down proofs...send digital files to brisque workflow for ctp".
That's something I assume you should know. Put down a few of the major responsibilites you had like "maintained quality assurance for a department of 6 prepress employees" and then follow it up with "managed to reduce repeated proofing and customer complaints due to errors in prepress by 60%"
And it's ok to fluff your resume a bit. Just don't over do it on the amount of actual prepress knowledge you have. You will get caught up in it. And sometimes companies are looking for someone at a lower paygrade just to help out and tackle the easy stuff. And don't mind teaching you stuff along the way.
