is the entire thing your resume or is the red background for presentation? I'll just randomly plop down some constructive criticism.

It shouldn't include the red background, even though the face is very nice, it leaves it unprofessional.

I love the layout, I love the color palette. I debate whether I think the bottom identity section should be rag left or rag right.

The italicized is COMPLETELY unnecessary with the color red, italics are gross, and because it's red it obviously sticks out enough.

I think your hierarchy of type is terrible confusing, I read the right first, which may be your intention for each section, but makes no sense to read as is. Also your heading for each (btw the employments word gets real weird around the y and m for some reason) they're all different transparencies, why would you do that?

I think it could do without the colons by the years, or maybe try to figure out a different symbol for it. A type trick for that is to align the font, to your right in this case, and actually push the colon (or comma or semicolon, etc.) over the edge of the type alignment, just a wee bit mind.

A font that would be much more successful is Univers light, thicker bolder fonts make for clutter, if that's your intention you need to make sure everyone can notice that.

Designs need to be simple, light, minimalistic, it needs to give people vision space. You've done very very well with the idea. Ultimately I think if you changed all the font to univers light, kept all the colour, unified the transparancy, took out the red background, used a thicker univers for the headings, it would be beautiful!

Just my thoughts on it

This is much better than the other! I'm happy for you ... I'm sorry I critiqued it so bad before >.>
I critique random stuff when I'm bored, but I was doing my resume, OMG it took FOREVER and it still SUCKS but surprisingly followed the same kind of hierarchy you have except it was influenced from someones web page resume.

How close the large bold gray font is kind of worries me, it doesn't interfere and I know what's going on but it seems more if it was light then the characters overlapping wouldn't seem as bad, but then again it has to be really intended. I think all caps would be a common solution to that as well.

The only other thing is the word resume ... I understand it as a design mark but it seems like it should be far more designerly incorporated, like if it was coming out of the bottom red, seems like a really good idea, it's just that it has no purpose other than a mark so it should be a damn awesome mark or something. But ya this horizon is so much better than the off-paper it was before, and this graphic belongs much more than the previous one.

I actually remember your resume before which is kind of funny, nifty for me to make the comparison. I'm so glad you told me you changed it though, that's really cool XD

I'll post mine for you to see one day, you can make fun of it :D (I'm sick of this "clean" and "pristine" design we live in today, but that's what it is) Have a good day :D

re: clean and pristine... and thats what it is.. its not.. evryones open to things old and new its the thing of the design age.. one we get tired of something we look back and pick up things and incorporate it today...

looking forward to see your WACKY ART DECO ECLECTIC resume... heheheh just kidding.. make it the way you think it should be... and if it is about will you get your job on it... well make it so that it speaks for it self... whaddaya say?

aw I love having an opinion that someone takes into consideration, it's real neat that you're not like me, or 99.9% of the world, when given a criticism they say "ya you're right" or "no you're not" but they'll never go back to it once it's done.
