I'm meeting with a headhunter on Monday. How should I present my resume?

Most professional in my opinion, the clear front, and easy slide in kind of thing. Looks very basic. Press clippings in a separate portfolio. It’s not over kill if you know how you will go over the clippings. For instance, lightly go over the experience you gained through each clipping. What you learned, and how you can better apply yourself because of the experience. As for your resume, only things journalism and pr related should go in. Nothing like grocery guy, etc. Make sure to have your Cover Letter. Contact your references through email and let them know you are jotting their name and number down. And best wishes to you :D

Do you have a portfolio? That always looks nice.

Yes, by all means, take samples of your writing and press clippings.

Yes, include other materials. You could get a thin three ring binder and the clear plastic covers that have three ring holes, and place your resume in the front, then clippings on subsequent pages, all in the plastic protectors. The gloss from the plastic makes everything look better in my opinion. The binder is very inexpensive, and you can leave the recruiter with the whole thing if she wants to keep it, but she probably won’t want to. If not, you can just slip the hard copy of the resume out, and leave her with that.

Oh, some binders have a place on the outside where you can slip in a cover. JLeslie’s Resume and supporting materials. Or, whatever you want to call your resume book. More important than a sheet for the cover is the binder side, what you see when the binder is on the shelf. At minimum print out your name and slip it into the side of the binder so if the recruiter does keep it, she knows what it is when she glances at her shelf. But, I don’t think she will want it. Mostly what it does is show her what you will present when you go into an interview. She can give you feedback if it is overkill for a particular client or not,

Don’t use that regular thin white paper used for general purpose, buy some thicker resume paper, with a nice off-white tone, makes it easier on the eyes, gives it a nicer feel.
