We have emphazided last week the importance of having an original and well-designed business card for your business to stand out from the crowd in a post featuring a collection of 10 very interactive business cards. The same logic applies to CVs/ resumes, the more original they are, the longer-lasting impression they will make on your recruiters. Providing that they remain coherent to the industry you’re willing to target and appropriately showcase your set of skills.
Creative CVs definitely don’t suit all kind of jobs but if you are looking for a creative and design-oriented position, it is worth taking the time to design a showcase of your skills set that will put you on the front line compared to all the other applicants who are signing up for the same job with a classic boring arial 12 word document.
It is bearly breaking news that employers filter tons of CVs everyday and it is more likely that only the stunning ones will get noticed. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” isn’t a widely used adage when it comes to job-seeking so make sure that you have put all the chances of success on you side with a good looking resume (and a solid cover letter).
