  1. I wouldn’t do any of these. Simply because I’m not a graphic designer :) What these really did was show how simple it would be to do a regular resume! Haha! I’ve been dragging my feet on typing one up, but these show how much time people will waste when it isn’t needed. Therefor, I’ll be typing up a normal resume in about 4 hours less than these folks spent on theirs…

  2. I think these are great ideas. For those of you that say you’d throw these out because they aren’t “readable” or “professional” – I’m pretty sure you’re at a company that these designers wouldn’t want to work for. Any company or hiring manager that sees these and thinks “wow, love the effort, love the design, I wanna talk to them” – that’s the kind of company these people probably want to work at, not the kind that throws out resumes because they’re “fluffy.” I also agree with ollie, who said these could just be conceptual ideas, we don’t know that these were actually submitted, but props if they were!

  3. I’m a 22 years old web designer working on a very nice and playful studio since 2009. And when I was on the painful path of job searching I realize that a lot of the companies were very “square” and that almost everyone in there was 40+ years old. I mean no offense by this, but that wasnt the kind of company or studio I wanted to join in. So after 2 months on interviews I found this job, and I love it.

    So I think the most important thing is to KNOW exactly what you want and what you DONT want. And literally dress yourself and your resume for the occasion.

    For someone who posted that this kind of designs & resumes wouldn’t get you to make “real money” I think its just a matter of priorities. I may not be earning piles of money, but I’m making enough to have a nice living. And I have the plus that I can wear jeans and sneakers to the office :) & I only work 4 hours per day.

  4. Joshua Drummond was to much but Jean Francois Résumé I believe is a great example of how you can keep your professional look but add your creativity to it. When your hiring a graphic designer or artist don’t you want to see Both expeience and creativity? Words on a blank peice of paper about how you went to university doesn’t stand out anymore. This is a new era…Why Can’t we expand our barriers.

    Take a Chance.

  5. Great designs, great idea and great post!

    I bet it took you some time to put all this together but it came out something that really caught my attention!

    Keep up, cheers!

  6. Let’s face it – most HRs are dumber than dirt and only hire from a database entry no-matter what. The way to address them is via keyword strategies. These graphic resumes may be useful to target the Creative Head and do an end-run around the HR gatekeeper. I had one CD take me aside and show me a bunch of creative resumes by other people – like these – as a heads-up to what my colleagues are up to. Therefore this strategy is valid, depending on the target audience. Those that trash resumes for being creative are short-sighted lazy gatekeepers. Go around them. They are less than useless.

  7. Wow. I don’t usually post comments, but some of the above comments managed to rile me. This type of CV is OBVIOUSLY meant to supplement the .docx version of the same resume and is in no way intended as the ONLY version. Creative examples, as shown above, work to give merit to the skills listed in the resume.

    And to Kati – this type of resume is for creatives, like graphic designers, etc. One would think that implicit, but perhaps that’s just me.
