first thing I look at is the work, the cv is really secondary. that being said, I despise all desperate and clever attempts at making your portfolio something it's not. show me the fucking work. and if you don't have any work to show, or any work period to do, you probably have time to make your contraption. This immediately tells me you don't really work but pretend to.

i mean, if you're treating your cv like a project when you shouldn't, what does that say about what you'll do on a real project? i don't want that shit.

I liked this thread. I don't have any stories, but it makes for a good read.

Heres a new top tip.
Don't send CV's out from the hotmail address you've had for about 15 years.

You might think i'm joking! We had an email with CV attached the other day and the hotmail email address was somewhat similar to the one above. Crazy!

We received a resume a few weeks back that had undergone photoshop hell and back. Drop shadowing on the name along with their own personal "logo" which had illustrator brush effects applied to it. Gradients in the sub-headers, poorly set-type... just all around laughable.
Best part was there was a bullet for "incredibly creative and motivated!!"
