After reading this article I have realized that my preconceptions of the fruitless résumé were, in fact, valid. Michael Margolis does not directly point at this, but rather stresses the modern importance of a personal biography; however, it strengthens my opinion on the matter and helps to ease the angst I attribute with the inevitability of writing a résumé. I wholeheartedly agree with Margolis, and understand that this type of document is a formality of the past. It may be an essential part of the way some people go about finding a career, but if you are a designer, people must be able to quickly grasp the type of person you are and the type of assets you can bring to the table. It's about the bigger story - who you are, how you've gotten to where you are, and what the future holds. For a lot of people, what you have done in the past - where you worked or who you worked with - is a major factor in where you go next. But for some people, especially those fresh out of college, you may not necessarily have an impressive memoir. In this scenario it is imperative that whoever is checking you out gets just enough information so that they are interested in what they have learned but also so that they are left with a desire to learn more about you. In this case, you will have created  something that makes you both approachable and relatable.
