Friday Links: Cultivating creativity, resume advice, design is a job

It's Friday and you know what that means...time for some links on design, creativity, & other things we love here at Hue & Tone!  Without further adieu...

One | If I only had thirty seconds to offer you a piece of essential career advice, it'd be this: don't use a Microsoft Word template for your resume. Here are some good tips as you move beyond that.

Two | Travel is not a huge part of my life these days, but I'd like to incorporate more of it eventually. I'm reading through these tips on how to prepare your business for extended travel.
