Looking back some years, once I was hired because when I submitted my resume, I broke from the "norm" and took a chance. I mean, how relevant is a resume when it's overlooked and passed over? This is why I believe sweet looking images can make an impact!
During my interview, my lead cover page was brought out as a topic of discussion. With smiles and laughs from the Director of IT, it was clear my efforts had achieved my primary objective of getting noticed and interviewed. The cover page contained several Photoshop images.
