Adding style and drama to your presentation may get your resume noticed faster and read more thoroughly. Here’s a sampling of some gorgeous designs (some with available templates) courtesy of Buzzfeed.

      I always recommend that a candidate have a clean, plainly-formatted version as well, since Applicant Tracking Systems don’t always read these kinds well.
