We were always taught in business school NOT to include any pictures or graphics in a resume. minus if your applying to sell houses, or insurance.. seems like their faces have to be plastered all over stuff. :lol:

The key is to express your knowledge without coming across as a "know it all". Someone who is still looking to add to that said knowledge and be a team player. You can include things that insinuate team player into your objective by saying Objective: To join an organization as a prepress technician with the intent to help further the goals of the company.

I also wouldnt have a technical list, per se, because like mentioned, it will be over the heads of most of the "first viewers" instead opt for the BIG names, mentioning you are proficient in the Creative Suite, as well as Quark and MS Office.

that's me cent and half. Good Luck with the hunt!!

:P

edit: also include a cover letter. always include a cover letter. and always send a follow up letter of appreciation for taking their time to consider you.
