Resume Graphics
There is no quicker or more effective way to capture a hiring
manager's attention than by using graphics in your resume, if appropriate.
Appropriate use of resume graphics would be for those working
in entertainment, the arts, creative occupations and perhaps certain
nontraditional occupations. Limited use might be appropriate even
for traditional and conservative occupations.
For example, graphics are appropriate to:
- Display a logo for a Web graphic designer
- Indicate an IT certification
- Indicate a career field
- Showcase work completed by a graphic designer or artist
However, even if graphics are appropriate for your occupation,
don't include them in the scannable version
of your traditional resume. Graphics might confuse the software
that reads resume text into computers, through optical scanners.
Resume Examples with Graphics
The following resume examples indicate how you can add creativity
and effectively market yourself to employers, by incorporating
graphics.

your resume and cover letter an edge!
