I'll disagree with you there Baskerville.
If you are a creative person then you should be doing something to stand out from the crowd.I've been involved with two small companies and have seen standard CV's come in and just get tossed to the side as we didnt have time to read them.
However, ive seen good creative ones to go on to become the talk of the office and get the person in for an interview even though we didnt need anyone at the time - just to meet them and put a face and personality to the creativity we've seen.One particular one that stands out was a diary style cv that was handmade and the font used was very much like handwriting . everyone thought the girl had neatly written everytthing in this little diary just for us. It was also personalised to us as acompany and not a mass-printed boring cv.
When im talking to students about CVs I always bring this one up as it was soooo stand-out to anything i've ever seen.If you are a suit-type person and not a creative I still think its even a good idea to do something quirky with your CV adter all, you are sending the CV to a creative company not a fuckin' bank or solicitors!
