I'm not sure I would encourage resume's like these. Some of these are OK - the fabric one is pretty clever actually - but shouldn't it be your work doing all the attention grabbing?

Not to be a pessemist but I would dismiss most of these out of hand... I would look at the pretty design and next plz thx.

I liked the second one in spanish... maybe it was just all the pretty colours.
PS. you're most welcome airey, one shit-stained t-shirt is on its way to your house... and I had green chicken curry last night.

fuck people over-think bullshit here. yes content matters but if the look doesn't matter then we're out of a job.
if you've got a great cv why not make it look or be interesting also?
miserable fucknuts.

at least they've bothered. 9/10 job applications i've received recently have no CV. just "hi, i'd like a job"

I would like to revise my statement, I think these are best for junior designers or people fresh out of college. Anyone with more than 3 years or experience should stick to the basics

I see nothing wrong with a nicely or uniquely designed CV but I didn't like any of those... except maybe Oona's (will art for $$$) but it wasn't very original.

I think there is nothing wrong with designing your CV, just make sure it is tasteful and not over the top. A tall call indeed it seems...
Good typography will always do wonders (for any document)

The stitched one is awesome. The comic book back page one as well. The rest, meh.

Let the facts speak for themselves. Whilst there are some nice pieces of design, the idea is to be immediately comparable to the other candidates. If you can't stand out by using a traditional method then you ain't getting the job. Over designed, super stylish design bullshit just screams 'needy & self important' and consequently trouble for an employer. Besides, if you spunk your creative juices all over your CV what's your portfolio for?

Let the Portfolio do the creative work for you, and the CV the business end of matters. This just speaks I have just left college and don't have a clue?
- Exactly. no-one cares you spent the ages between 18 and 21 backpacking round india. Portfolio should say it all.nigpay1

Just sent a cv out on Friday... 3 column, black type only, clear, readable, nice typography. Got an interview the next day, got a job today. Better to keep it simple and spend time on the portfolio presentation instead.
- They do look good though, thanks BuddhaHatali
- congratulationsbigtrickagain

YIKES!
Part of being a designer is knowing when to practice restraint.
