    Cool
In summary, some people like the last resume, some people like the first resume, but all of them are boring.

While reading the news today, I stumbled on http://www.businessinsider.com/insa...1-6#joe-kelso-says-his-resume-never-failed-1". After a quick look, I was left wondering, would YOU use any of these forms of resumes in hopes of landing you your next job ? Seriously... DISCUSS...(copyright by Pengy... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, my fine flippered friend)

Rhody... :confused:

If my job required a) people skills, b) creativity, and c) graphic/artistic skills, then absolutely I would. But if you used this style for an engineering job application, for instance, then your resume would probably get a laugh, then get chunked.

DONT STEAL MY DISCUSS!

Anyhow, for creative positions, yah I guess this is pretty cute.

For actual jobs, that's stupid.

I like the last one that is demoed - I think something like that could work for an engineering company.

While those are cool, if you look at them almost every person is applying for a job in graphic design.
