A little bit of technology and some human antidote is what is going to make your photographer’s resume a successful one.
Where it was once so painstaking to create a neat resume – thanks to typewriter technology – it is now the easiest thing to do as you can easily delete and replace words and sentences.
Make good use of this technology to suit yourself.
