자주 묻는 질문
Q: Include illustration style in summary? A: Yes — name your specific style rather than "versatile." Art directors search for particular aesthetics. Q: Summary for mostly freelance work? A: Lead with total years + aggregate metrics. Name recognizable clients. Q: Need summary with strong portfolio? A: Absolutely. The resume summary must convince ATS and hiring manager to view your portfolio [3]. Q: Mention traditional media skills? A: If relevant to the position. List specific media (gouache, ink, charcoal) rather than generic "traditional media."
