All of this is centered, and with background color, and colored text, with a thick, bright veggie/fruit border. It looks really good. I decided not to do a Main Dish segment, everything I've done is so jack of all trades.

I second the "all caps" comment. Try using an interesting font that is

easy to read, and different colors by menu category.
Do change the tense, as things done in the past should read Studied instead of Study, etc.
I do this for a living, so please don't take this the wrong way. Just trying to help.

Good luck!

 
It's original and would certainly stand out from a flood of resumes! One thing, though, from much

experience writing resumes (that's a whole other story!) you should never include dates older than 15 years. Instead, list the experience without the dates, or omit it all together.

Accentuate the professional experience that you have instead of minimizing them in with the "Starter" section. Keep state names either all spelled out, or all abbreviated.

Please don't take this as criticism, just trying to help. Good luck in your job search! Maybe like this:

I like the idea but am thinking of 1st Course: Writing, 2nd Course: Radio...and for an Amuse Bouche

throw in the Time Life series.

 
THANKS for all the ideas. I only used this resume once and in case I use it again, ,

I am going to take your suggestions in the Headings! WOW! I can't remember who here gave me the idea, and I'd love to credit her for it.

 
U have to see it in living color to see why caps are used.

It is not in the font that is used here, it has a vivid thick border of veggies and fruits, a background color, and font color. If you could see it in the MS Pub version, you'd understand. I don't know how I can post it in it's correct format here. If I could I would.

 
Completely agree with Dawn....

Of course, I am from a completely different area, but for the most part, streamlining a CV makes it better.

 
It has to be a picture, image or video, not a document or file - but you could take a photo of it

with a digital camera, then upload it!
