I get that…and it’s probably true of a great number of employers. I wouldn’t submit a resume like any of these if I were applying for a position that wasn’t creative in nature, of course. But we come back to a point that others have made, which is: it may be to MY benefit to weed out those employers who don’t “get” this and appreciate the fact that this person should automatically be considered a serious candidate for the creative energy he/she would bring to bear. If an employer is too staid and rigid for something like this I probably wouldn’t enjoy working for them.

I’m not sure you can be told how to make these kinds of resumes. These are what the designer has created…you need to just dig deep and find that in yourself, not to copy someone elses. If your talking programs…Adobe: Indesign…Illustrator would be a couple they were designed in.

The creative resume does work and it works well(spekaing from experience). Do you need graphs…50 images…text going every which way…maybe not. But, you can go beyond the “resume template”. If you are good at what you do (graphic designer) you know how to make something look attractive, pleasing to the eye, just the overall elements of design. However you can do whatever you want to do to your resume. Who cares what the handful of people on this particular post have to say myself included. Just be you.

I’ll agree with you on ONE fact that you should be able to read the information. However, if you are true to your graphic design profession/passion “you” are displayed in everything you do. You do not need to wait for the portfolio to make an impression. Common sense, the cover letter and resume are the first thing the potential employer is going to see…you may not get to the portfolio. The creative resume works and it works good…otherwise people wouldn’t do it…I wouldn’t do it.
