Yeah, my own resume isn't (or wasn't, it has been years since i updated it) that flair-y, but it does have a sidebar with screenshots of stuff i worked on (with my face doing a weird look at the top) and is in mostly prose style with bold text for each of the projects i worked on (bold helps to scan for stuff, at least that was the idea). I've been told a few times (by friends) that this isn't how resumes are supposed to look like but my line of thinking is that if you are so stuck up that you want a specific format for a resume, then you're most likely too stuck up for me to want to work with you :-P.


My team is in a full-on hiring spree right now. I've opted out of it because there's no process.

Ultimately, it boils down to people's gut feelings, which is so disgustingly random.
