As I said, the purpose of a resume – to attract the attention of the employer or recruitment agency, to stand out among other candidates (who are often quite a lot). Indeed, some applicants are suitable to the process of writing Summary creatively. But where is the boundary, as not to frighten the employer, "peregnuv stick"? There is no single answer does not exist, but I will say this originality is good, when it in moderation. Or in the right place. That is, when the company itself and the people working for it, are unusual, and just such employees and are looking for. What the candidates can bring a summary of the "ordinary"? Consider some of the most common cases. The unusual format of the file. In principle, we assume For example, a designer or IT-specialist.
But in this case it is necessary to take into account (ask first) whether the recipient is a summary of its open? Also, the file should not be too "heavy." An unusual form of a resume. In general, regard, the structure of summary style of presenting information, fonts, fills, add to it, pictures, etc., better to stick with the standard. Cybever follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. Although this form of creative worker may be allowed. But still with caveat: because the HR-manager or director may not be so "advanced" as you are. Too original photo in the resume. For example, a photo of the applicant to the pirate costume, possibly suitable for summary of a showman or animator. But in general, to do so I would not recommend it. Humor, a summary of joking manner.
Somewhat risky idea. Of course, if it does not resume in the Comedy Club. 🙂 Some of the HR-managers collecting this kind of "unusual" CVs of the candidates: If the case can have fun with colleagues. If you do not want to get into a "collection" take care. Look for comparing samples of resumes that I am doing. If your resume will be drafted on this "template", I think, in 99% of cases you can not go wrong. By the way, once you have decided on something different, then it must be original. If you just copied from the Internet any quibbles, it's not original, and trite. If we assume a standard resume that employers send the majority of candidates, your CV just have to be original. Another resume templates, like the hundreds of other like two drops of water, will leave you very little chance to get a job, especially in a good position in a major firm. Make sure to include a summary of all your achievements, experience and key benefits, do not miss anything important. Without false modesty. Lion's share candidate does not do this or do anyhow. That's when you scroll and you will have a much better chance of finding a good job. Generally speaking, it is important to build on the company, as well as the recipient of most resume all necessary information to understand what is permissible and what is not. And based on that already add a summary of some elements of originality. The same goes for the cover letter. I wish you all the right resume and – find a good job!
