30 Artistic and Creative Résumés

Most (if not all?) of these are from graphic designers. They have to be creative for their own resume to show some of their qualifications.<p>I wonder how a programmer could present their resume to show their qualifications. Do you have examples of more technical resumes that manage to show that?

Some of those are cool, but I suspect that a clear, concise cv combined with a portfolio would better serve everyone's needs.<p>I've often thought about what a cool developer resume on paper might look like, one that would satisfy HR and upper management's need for keywords and employment history, while at the same time conveying one's passion and interest in technology to the geeks.<p>When I'm interviewing one of the things I really, really appreciate is a resume that gives me a few places to start the interview. The ideal resume should start a conversation.<p>Also, most large shops totally textify resumes for distribution, so fancy formatting can be all for naught.

Very interesting. It's fascinating how many of these undercut themselves by making the information hard to parse or in some cases actively sabotaging the person's prospects.<p>Sean McNally's RPG character sheet in particular tells me he's not serious, doesn't use a spellchecker or perform proofreading, gets himself into trouble on a frequent basis and is deeply insecure about himself. Also had to love the last one for Sofiane Yaya, which urged me not to drop it as litter in a public place. Mentally, I did the responsible thing and put it in the trashcan as suggested.

Those are beautiful, but I think some companies might frown upon them. Anyone here have a fancy resume? :)
