Eh?
I was serious. I've seen designers send word doc CV's into places looking for work. May as well label it 'cockhat_do_not_bother.doc'

I just did the job search thing, and I started with my student resume with flourishes here and there... Every interviewer commented that they appreciated that I put a little style into it, but alas no job offers.
I got tired of it, and went for a "clean" type only look(still designed though) and nobody commented on it, though I landed a job with it.
???? I dunno.

i keep it simple but most design heavy / super creative shop looks for your type treatment on your resume

Keep it short and simple, I never read CVs more than two pages.

Nice. Remember to use Curlz for titles.

CV is short sharp and succinct. The accompanying work samples work to showcase the content more and therefore more laid-out but typographically, the CV is as to-the-point as possible. You put any design on a page and I promise that another designer will tut even if so in their head.

I've never see the point in putting your interests. I don't care if you like reading or canoeing at weekends...

use comic sans

most times our first contact with a potential job offer is not with the creative types, but with the office types. they dont care if you can layout your resume very nicely. they just need the info, plain and clean and simple. all the info they need to know should be clearly and very legibly for them to navigate, use ACTION WORDS to begin each sentance with and make sure your grammar is corrrect, proof read it many times and give it to a few other people to proof it as well...
here is a list of ACTION WORDS jsut for resumes: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/ha…
ask the type guys here which font is best...or im sure they already posted it.
