Print design ≠ web designnasty design, if someone sent me one of these I'd laugh.
I always say, keep the cv super simple and impress with your folio.

For designer interviews in particular, resumes serve as talking points and quick gauge to make sure other people like you enough to employ you, and you can prove you take showers etc.
Making it all "stand out" with colors and fancy parchment with wax seals etc. is fine and all if you are a junior applying for an ad company position, but it's sort of juvenile and points out that you have no foresight to how that piece of paper is held and regarded by various hands once it's sent somewhere.

Depends who the recipient is. I can imagine some people being impressed by that. Some people are idiots, don't forget.

That shit is straight out of PowerPoint. The indentation is absurd, too many type treatments, too many colors and a weak color scheme as well. This has nothing going for it.

If your resume/CV is worth reading it doesn't require anything beyond a clean, functional layout. The same reason road signs don't have lens flares or pictures of unicorns on them. IMHO.

as a designer you should be able to design your own cv.
who needs a cv that looks like a wordpress blog of a hipster t-shirt brand?
