Interesting And Unique Resume Ideas

By Wanda Vaughn


When one graduates and is looking for a job, he will have to compete with a thousand more other fresh graduates who are also looking for their first jobs. In order for a person to stand out above the other applicants that he is competing with, he has to be a little bit creative. One way would be to come up with unique resume ideas to catch attention.

When one would want to create an extraordinary resume that stands out, he has to first know the basic thumb rule of this act. When making a creative resume or CV, it is important to make the design relevant to the what the company or organization does. If the design is absolutely irrelevant, the company might even take that as an insult.

For example, when trying to apply for a job as an artist or a graphic designer, the design of his CV should have something to do with the job description. This means that his CV must be something colorful and creative. He could design his CV as a brochure or flier that the employer could open and close.

For those who want to get into the film industry, of course it is good to make a CV that looks like a movie premier poster. One should first get a movie poster and model his CV after that poster. This will enable him to show his creative side and also let him show how dedicated he can be to his work.

If one is an aspiring writer or a journalist, then he can design his CV after a stationery. This is really good because writers are known to have their small notebook where in they write in things that they do not want to forget. So by doing this, one can really show how serious he is about getting the type of job that he is applying for.

Programmers and website designers will have a fun time with their application. What most of them do is that they use the background and layout of an existing website for the design of their CV. For example, some applicants use the background of Facebook or Google as the background of their CV.

Those who would want a job in a big firm or corporation may also use their wits to get the position. A very good way to impress the employers of a company would be to present the CV as a book complete with a covering and all. This will allow the applicant to portray to the company that he is a tidy person and knows how to carry himself. It can also point out that he is a very professional worker who can give in extra effort to get his work done.

These unique resume ideas are actually very effective when applying for a job or a good position in the workforce. However, it is always important to make sure that the CV is neat and tidy. No matter how creative it may be, it still will not be accepted if it is not done well.
