resume in portfolio for MArch app?

flemingr

I have a general question about the placement of my resume for MArch apps coming up. I have seen some people integrate their resume inside of their portfolios, I liked the idea but was wondering more about it. If I was to do that should I also submit a paper copy (or digital depending on application requirements), or will it being in the portfolio suffice?

Basically I just want to make sure that they do not miss anything in my application. I'm not sure of the review process itself, so I would love some input.

I was actually thinking over the same thing as well. At present I am going to include a resume in my portfolio, and also include one separate assuming the school asks for one to be submitted (which I think most of them do).

Better to be safe then sorry, and besides you never know where certain pieces of information are going, different admissions reviewers, etc...

good luck

you could have fun with it and plot it on watermarked 'resume' paper and have it as a very formal 'insert'

for now, im thinking on the back of portfolio (back inside cover?) + as a separate sheet.

then again, there is always the rice/scented paper with some nice ms clip art

@TheVillan:

YES to rice/scented paper and cheesy clip art! who doesn't love some levity in the portfolio! you could also bind it in and use it as a kind of intro/splash page to your professional experience.
