Re-think the résumé! Whether you are actually seeking a new job, or just need a better way to explain to your mom what it is you do for a living, this class will help you come up with fun, interesting, and impactful charts and visuals that communicate your professional or personal journey. <img src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/parentClasses/57e5b847d14c944e371cbc5916e3bd86/93155f4c" alt="93155f4c">If you have avoided updating your résumé like the rest of us, join visual thinker and designer Catherine Madden to learn how to make it a more fun and creative experience. Follow a series of exercises to learn how to break down the traditional résumé into simple charts and visuals, consider different types of content that showcase what makes you unique, and decide on the appropriate format. This class builds on the foundational visual thinking concepts from Catherine's first class on <a href="http://skl.sh/fiftythree" rel="nofollow">drawing data</a>, but will get more specific about execution with three different tools: <ul><li>Hand Drawn Illustrated charts using Adobe Draw</li>
