Ins and outs of resumes and portfolios

I actually went to this session by accident--I went into the wrong room. It was still helpful, though. It was basically a question-and-answer forum about what companies and editors look for in resumes and portfolios.

Important things the panel discussed included errors, which can also be errors of omission. You should include any skills you have that are valuable. Do not leave that kind of stuff out of your resume.

A really good idea that one member of the panel had was to set up an online profile/resume Web site. This would make me seem more versatile. It would display my ability to put information online while giving the editor a less time-consuming option to read my resume.
