Resume critique

[DOKK]

I need some help with a resume that I've designed. I need to balance out the macro and micro whitespace. Someone said to me that "the resume looks too busy, you need to make a better use of macro and micro whitespace."

Now I understand the ting about macro and micro whitespace but I'm not exactly sure where about on the resume I should use or change the macro and micro whitespace!

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Someone said to me that "the resume looks too busy, you need to make a better use of macro and micro whitespace."

In my opinion, that someone is speaking nonsense. Yes, your resume is busy, but intentionally so for a nice design effect. As for white space use, it's fine. I see no problem whatsoever. It's got an overall nice look, and I like it.

That said, it is something of a non-traditional resume, and that's just fine if you're handing it to an art/creative director or someone who appreciates creative and different approaches to common problems. On the other hand, lots of companies leave the initial screening of job applicants to human resources people who couldn't care less about the look and only want to extract information from for their hiring analysis software to rank. Also, lots of online applications require uploading plain text or MS Word files. Considering all this, you might want to also come up with a greatly simplified text resume for those instances when it might be required.
