There was a time when I really cared about how my resume looked, besides just the content. I don’t actually care much anymore, but I still find them fascinating.
I think the actual look of your resume can say just as much as the words. Personal opinion.
This is an updated post from a while ago here.
Enjoy after the jump… and if you’d like to download all of them I’ve got a zip file as well.

wow… I'm a pretty good Resume writer, but after seeing these, I'm wondering how I got my last job
I enjoy posts like this because they motivate me to learn something.
PROBLEM: I want to look at all these resume designs. Easily. Flipping through them a page at a time was not going to cut it.
SOLUTION: There is always an easier way. Its called the command line.
So no problem, I'll just load up my terminal and use wget. Except, Macs don't have wget. o.0 Macs come loaded with curl instead. Okay, whatever. I can adapt. Right after I learn how to use curl, that is.
After a few hit-or-misses, here is how I quickly leeched these files from Human3rror.
1.) Launch the Terminal app in OSX, simply known as "Terminal".
2.) Switch to my downloads directory with a simple "cd Downloads" command. (That places me in the /Users/Aaron/Downloads directory on my hard drive.)
3.) Issue the curl command with correct syntax:
curl -O http://human3rror.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/upl…
The "-O" option downloads the data as a file (default downloads the data directly to your terminal window!). The [0-100] in the filename is a special operator instructing curl to download the files beginning with 0, 1, 2, 3, etc in order — till 100. And, if you don't want to see the progress bar for each file, you can always add a "-s" option anywhere between the command and the filename.
For what it's worth — Enjoy!
dude, you're so awesome.
maybe i should just provide the full run via download…
That'd be cool, if you could.
uploaded! should be there in a sec.
I've included a zip file of all of them.
So much for showing off.
dude, you’re so awesome.
I remember submitting a "creative resume' once and being told that I obviously had never submitted a resume before and that I should look at some professional templates and copy them… wah wahhhhhhh.
50% of the skill required to pull off a successful creative resume is knowing when to use it.

Awesome! Thanks!
sure thing!
I can't get the zip file.
Here's the error I'm getting: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."
Great timing with this post. Was just trying to make a creative resume and couldn't find any examples. Thanks!!!!!!
try now.
some can be very funny.
i can't even help myself remembering mine.,
very creative but can't help wonder how the employers like them, especially if they the scan them.
i think my favorite (because i'm a dungeons & dragons nerd) is this one based on a character sheet.

very true, very true.
thats cool….sure
thats cool….sure
The download link wouldn’t work for me.
I’d really like to check all of them out.
try now bro!
I would agree that many of these examples qualify as creative, although creativity definitely needs to be used wisely. I felt like a lot of the examples were very cluttered in their design or the information on them wasn’t easily read with a quick sweep of the eye. Employers may have a high volume of resumes sitting on their desk to sift through, so sometimes simple is better. None-the-less, great work putting all of these together!
I came upon this post via Google. I saw that you once had the resumes as a set available to download. DO you still happen to have it? If so, could you email me the set or upload it? Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your time!
Hi… Thx for the post, it’s very nice. The download link is off? Can you put a .zip file for download again, pls? Thank You!
