Don't settle for a boring resume

Here are 36 layouts you can use, or adapt from to create your own unique, standout resume design. Remember, using a Microsoft Word template pretty much guarantees that your resume will look exactly like everyone else's. And that's not a good thing.

And if you want to take it to a whole 'nother level, check out VisualCV. The site is in Beta mode right now, but I just created a resume page on VisualCV for free and the results are pretty cool. You also can add a portfolio with audio, video, and documents, and--maybe best of all--you can download your VisualCV page as a PDF.
