Most (if not all?) of these are from graphic designers. They have to be creative for their own resume to show some of their qualifications.
I wonder how a programmer could present their resume to show their qualifications. Do you have examples of more technical resumes that manage to show that?
I don't think tech recruiters want to see a colorful/fancy resume. They want to see experience, relevant skills, GPA, etc. I mean, if your resume was in the form of a quine that included the relevant information or something I guess that would be cool, but in general I think unusual resumes work best for jobs focused on creativity and design.
Who cares about headhunters?
If I want to hire a graphic designer, I'd like to see that A) they know their shit and B) I can work with them - He's not too much of an årtisté.
One of those resumes and a portfolio would handle A. If I saw a boring ms word template resume I might start to doubt their skills.
gpa? For a graphic designer, I expect it to be way down there (from all the artists I've known).
I don't think you read my comment correctly. I agree that a flamboyant resume is appropriate for a graphic designer - but not for a programmer or other tech applicant.
