I am working on putting together a package for applying to new jobs and thought I would put this up for review.  My resume details my experience here in the Yukon and other places, so for this I wanted to essentially show a few projects that I’ve worked on during my time here in which I contributed in more ways than just construction documents or drafting.  I wanted to convey a well rounded skill set so I only included the projects in which I did some rendering/modeling as well as drafting.   (I will be including some detailing I did for the EBA project on the first page as soon as I can get the file from work)

When we were hiring a lot of the people’s work samples that I saw felt very much not put together and I was surprised by this.  Maybe it was how they printed- I don’t know- but they did not look very thought out.  With this in mind, I wanted to keep things short and concise while still getting the point across in a well designed manner.  The format of the black lines and contact info is very similar to my resume, portfolio, and cover letter.  It is meant to be printed 8.5 x 11 or viewed on a screen so I worry a little about the size of the drafted drawings and whether I should zoom in more on selected portions of them or stick with the overall impression of the page.  I also wonder about the length and if I should include more, or if brevity lends more strength.  This is still a work in progress but any comments and suggestions would be very helpful.
