Creative Resumes and CVs

Seeking inspiration for your creative resume in graphic design, advertising, interactive or web design and programming? Look no further, my brilliant friend. I'm listing them in order of entertainment value and helpfulness. Be aware that you will stumble across ones you've seen before. No, it's not deja vu. No, it's not deja vu.

Below is a list ranging from The Huffington Post and Smashing Magazine to blogs by Creative Directors and Designers:

Resume Design Tip:

Try doing a search for resumes focusing on those who have worked at the agencies you'd like to work at by typing in "resume" + your agency. Think Saatchi & Saatchi, Y&R, Grey, TBWA \ Chiat \ Day, BBDO, VitroRobertson, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Goodby Silverstein, Wieden + Kennedy, McCann, Razorfish, JWT, Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, Publicis, R/GA, Martin, DraftFCB, etc... I've found the .pdfs most helpful if you're looking for print inspiration (as well as career paths), but the htm and html pages are great for website design and keywords.

Also, do a search for resumes with those who have the position you would like to have now and in the future. Think Art Director, Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Production Artist, Senior Designer, Copywriter, Director of Design, MarCom, etc...
