I'm telling you if you want to impress people to get freelance work Flash it to the max! Everything you do should be done in Flash and with as much animation and sound fx possible.
If you are applying for a job just do a plain word document with as little design as possible because HR people are totally uneducated and blind to design, so they just need to read the info.
You know why this is so? Because only 3% of the business world appreciates nice design. Everyone else likes it flashy with special effects and a lot of color. Everyone else is blind to the things we designers see, just as long it's colorful and with pictures. Take an ordinary consumer, do you think he will stop and say WOW that's nice design? No. Do you think that CEOs and other people see a difference between nicely layed out catalog or a document made in Word template? No. Only very very few big companies appreciate good design where it is highly unlikely to get work from. Everyone else likes bevels, 2a swooshes and beeping sounds.Damn I'm talking too much.
Cheers.
