The Job Search

First of all...The logo I designed came out really great. After 2 days of churning out ideas- I narrowed it down to 3 options.  We refined one of them until we got to the end point.  There were a few hiccups in the file formatting, but all went well in the end.  The timing of the bronchitis/laryngitis could not have been worse- but the logo design supplemented the income lost from days away from flying.

That brings me to my current goal: finding full time work. I have to admit I am mostly lost when it comes to finding a job in graphic design. But I am up to the challenge.....I want to land a full time job within 3 months.

What I do know: You have to have a resume and as a graphic designer, the resume is another design problem.  So designers...any advice? I've designed mine with a 2 color accents and type treatments. How do you feel about color in resumes?
