Sure there are a lot of horrible resumes made in word, but how many pieces of garbage haven been made from an adobe product? Doesn't make us use it any less. Keep your options open, you'll be surprised what you can make in word when you invest some time into it. Theres nothing wrong with using Word if you now how to use it to its full potential.

Thanks. And the PDF'ed examples are all really good examples. I am curious what the community here thinks about how content is laid out in the experience category. The examples had two very distinctive ways of outlining the responsibilities and capabilities for each position or job. I am offering up another idea. I've chosen to list my experience per job as such: • Name of company, title, date of employment, geographic location. • Then, I state my primary responsibilities • Follow up with three to four bullets of what I've accomplished in this position. I think it's short enough to be concise and long-enough to be interesting without boasting. Just a recommendation. Thoughts or opinions welcome.

Just got laid off. Got to update my resume and wanted to do a little research to see what was out there. You have a great site and it's really given me just the boost I needed to get started. You're really doing such a good thing. Would you do one little thing for me and fix the typo under YOUR EXPERIENCE. It should probably begin with "List your". I love what your doing so much, we can't have a typo on your page. Hope I don't have any in this message! Lots of love and God bless you. I’ve been a graphic designer for 20 years. Just got laid off.

This is a bad example but, what if you're a web designer and you make your resumé look like a website? If something like this was well executed and the idea was actually good, is a gimmick a great idea or does it suck? I’d like to know your thoughts on ‘gimmicky’ resumés?

Graphic Design resumes have to look like the one for a teacher, an accountant, a doctor. Times New Romans (or any other font that looks like it) is the rule and more than 2 pages are usually expected. Using any color other than black is also a no-no here. Latin America is very "business like" in what anything related to resume, and creativity is ONLY expected in the portfolio.
