Does Your Resume Need a Makeover?

You have
the brains, but do you also have the beauty? In
these tough economic times, job seekers must learn to set themselves apart from
the competition. You’ve been told a plain, black and white resume is the safest
and best way to a recruiter’s heart. How far has that gotten you in your job
hunt?

In order
to get noticed, you have to get creative. You’ve
probably heard of the marketing professional who made himself a human billboard
for employment and stood on a busy “executive” corner. Or perhaps you’ve
seen individuals creating t-shirts that advertise their resume. Thinking
outside-the-box has helped many gain employment. So why not apply it to your resume?

I’ve come across numerous resumes utilizing any variant of templates offered by
Microsoft online. While the content of a resume is most important, adding a touch
of beauty can be the reason why a recruiter remembers you from the rest of
their black and white pile.

So how can you get creative?
