As a seasoned employment agency, we’ve seen practically every type of resume a job seeker could create. Some of these would impress, others would shock and at the very least the vast majority of them would entertain.
With the internet impacting our business world at a rapid pace, many job seekers are becoming more creative to make a first and lasting impression.
Although Corporate Resources prefers to keep our business practices to a standard resume, we thought we’d share some of these we found on Pinterest. Obviously many of these more outlandish when the industry is advertising, media or in the creative or marketing industry, but still aren’t they inspiring and fun?
The truth is not all hiring managers prefer to review overly creative resumes. When in doubt, consider your industry and talk to your constituents to see what’s trending. Your industry may demand that your resume be outside the box.
If you’re still looking to revamp your resume, check out this example Mashable. It takes an ordinary resume and cleans it up, making it more professional and enabling it to capture the attention of a reviewer.
