Does anyone use graphic resumes? Maybe throw out an example? Im going to for a job am im thinking bout turning in a graphical resume, but i dont know if its going to look right or professional. I just know that all text sucks ass.

don't over-design the resume. ever.

Wow them w/ your use of typography. Most of the employers I know just want the information. Save the graphics for your portfolio.
Hey Sputnik,
What do you think of that new Transformers game?

I never look at resumes done in word.
simple is good, but really you are a designer, show me that you understand typography and lay it out appropriately.
- sputnik0
you can definitely do that in word

yes you can certainly do it in word, but reallly, who uses word and powerpoint...
I expect design shops to be familiar with PDF.
ohh and i am very curious to see a well designed resume (one page) done in word..soo if you could provide a link for me:)
anyway, essentially its what is in your resume that matters.

Use smart type and you won't need anything else, as said before, don't over design.
... and don't use bullet points...

A pdf placed in WORd could be nice....

all text doesn't suck. An employer DOESN'T want to see all that type of stuff on a document that should just state the obvious. :)
