(Personally, I just write, "Dude, you know you want to hire me." on all of my resumes.)
Loft Resumes has come up with a brilliant concept. It gives you "style-conscious resumes for the standout job seeker" and lets you pick the look of your resume, fill in the areas, arranges it all for a balanced, well-designed look and emails you a PDF (along with a similarly styled blank cover letter that you can open up in Word.) It costs about $100, with customizations like multiple pages, a faster delivery time or custom color scheme for $10 - $40 more.
I'm obsessed with this idea. It's brilliant. In this economy, job interviews are hard to come by and though this might not be ideal for a conservative workplace, it's perfect for someone looking for a job in a creative field.
The French Press.
The Stars.
The Monday Drive.
I think the Market Square might be my favorite.
So, if you're looking for a job anytime soon, these just might be the ticket. Or, you could do what most successful job searchers do... Put me as a reference. Hired!
(And tell me somebody got the Legally Blonde reference!)
