Default bead resume

Hi all,
This is a strange topic but definitely beady -- I'm going to apply for
some holiday hours at the local bead store. They don't have
applications, instead they asked me to submit a resume.

Now, I have a professional curriculum vitae, but this would not interest
them. So -- any thoughts on what to include in my bead resume? I think
experience (in years), shows, etc. would be good. Any other ideas would
be very much appreciated!

Jennifer

Jennifer,
Good luck!!
In addition to the ideas you have mentioned, you might include which stitches
(peyote, brick, etc.) you know, if you've ever taught beading (which stitches
or which age groups you prefer), if you specailize in seed beads or larger
beads, if you are knowledgeable about gemstones, if you feel comfortable
demonstrating wire work or other techniques. Also which classes you have taken
or if you are self-taught.Mention which teachers or books have been helpful to
you. Do you make your own beads (lampwork, fused, polymer, etc.)
If the shop does parties, mention if you like teaching kids or adults in that
arena.
Some bead stores here are combining other disciplines such as knitting,
weaving, etc. - you might mention if you have any experience in those areas.
Do you sew? Can you follow or even create a pattern?
Good luck and land that job!!!

List classes you've taken/studies with teachers

list any teaching you've ever done, list any particular skills/areas of
knowledge (beadweaving, jewelry finishing, wire wrapping, whatever....)

list any you COULD teach

any writing about beads/jewelry you've done,

any sales you've done, retail or at shows,
and print out some pics--a portfolio is as important as a resume in artistic
endeavors, perhaps more so.
