My Visual Self-Presentation

·2 mins
Introduction
This story is part of a series.

Some time ago, we had this conversation with the client when they asked me to send my CV. I never had one. I never thought of having one! And… I had been working for ten years already, day-and-night.

So, I tried to design one.

Making My Very First Résumé
I failed at making a CV, and made a visual self-presentation instead. I like it in that role.

I never showed it to the public. But I realised I still like it! Why won’t I?

It took me just five days to design and rephrase it. But it took me an eternity to accept resumes should look the way they look. So I call it a self-presentation now. Or a pitch-deck resume, if you like.

I no longer send it to the clients, and I have a proper resume now. I wish it to stay on my website, as for some clients it may tell much more about me than that regular resume.

Revisiting My Résumé

Here’s the presentation, it’s 18 slides.

If for some reason, you have issues with viewing the optimised images and some are missing (shouldn’t be the case for any modern browser), this project is also available on  Behance.
