Resumés are not something that I am either particularly or profoundly gifted at creating. As I understand it, a resumé acts as a first impression to a potential employer. This is because most people will examine my resumé before they open my portfolio. I have been told that the people I send my resumé and portfolio to go through tons of these things daily. This is why it seems to be so important to be memorable and to stand out.

I believe that as a professional I should be both academically educated, as well as self-taught at what I do.

As an assignment for my Identity Design class I have been asked to keep a blog as a way of allowing my viewers a glimpse into my beliefs on certain subjects. This week I have been posed the question, "What is a professional?" To help answer this question, my professor provided the class with Design Professionalism.
