40 Most Creative Resume Design Ever Seen

Another example where you can see how the resume should not look like. Designers often mismatch the resume with portfolio. Most of the resumes here are really hard to read and it it is also hard to find the important information for the HR. There is a really small barrier between being hired or threw away to thrash. Please stop doing this resumes and concentrate more to information and usability instead of design. You can prove your design skills at your portfolio as a attachment of your resume :-)

 Is it just me or does #13 look like the paper is a stolen stock image?

 These are all really great concepts but a lot of them are hard to read and will be skipped over in my opinion. I think it’s more important to clearly present content in a resume with simple lined-up text in black and white.

 I agree with the mass here… some look great, but most of them are useless. I’ve had to go through the hiring process and piles of resumes. If I saw any of these, and IF they showed they had any real world experience, I would have contacted them and asked for a plain word doc resume! HR or managers usually are going to bring in an average of 5-10 people for a position. Often it’s going to be all in one or two days. They are going to print out the resume, often give them out to the team the position is going in… do you think they want to turn the page or their head 45-90 degrees just to read the resume?

“hey we liked your resume… creative. So… I think you worked somewhere? right? what does this icon mean? if I read this chart right you either worked for two years at Company A, or your a Capricorn and enjoy quiet walks on the beach?”

You’ve featured my CV here, and to be honest, I never thought it worked, and have never used it. Evidently, it must appeal to some people as i’ve had so many odd requests – print requests, requests for the original file (WTF?). My latest CV can be found at http://www.crystalnunn.com/nunn.pdf which is far more practical and relevant for the purpose of a CV.

#39, 24 and 17 are all artistic, simple and not complicated to read. I agree that CVs should be functional and easy to read. I hate flipping things to read them, it’s not practical.
