For my first example of a regular job CV, I chose this one - It is simple and straight to the point, the sections and paragraphs are separated neatly so there is little to no chance of a potential employer being put off by the word count. I am aware that a large chunk of text can be unattractive and unwanted.
However, this design is my least favourite out of the 3 that I have chosen to look at, simply because it is too plain for the types of jobs that I personally would be aiming for - much better suited to a corporate job.
For my second CV, I decided that this one looked both professional and creative without looking too disorganised. Again, every section is clearly separated, sentences are spaced out evenly and the colour scheme is simple but effective due to its natural looking grey tones. The font is easy to read and the choice of the writing colour contrasts nicely with the white background again, making it easy to read, stress-free.
And for my third choice - A completely different idea. Instead of using a picture of themselves, she chose to use geometric shapes as her signature look. Again, the simple gradient colours give a professional look and the sub headers have a slightly artistic feel to them.
I like this design because it is a mix of both a creative CV and a corporate- especially if this is a CV designed with a job in graphic design in mind. It's smart but shows the creative side to the person who is handing them out.
