It’s not only skill that matters to stand out; the way you present yourself plays a crucial part too. What do you need to focus on to make the best first impression? Obviously, it’s your appearance. But to be noticed and make the most impressive first impression, resume matters as equally as your appearance does. Needless to say there’s a cut throat competition in every sector today and everyone has skills required for vying in so, you need to be different and dynamic.

Typing and printing your skills in a plain paper, adding some colours and sending it to the employer will not do. You need to think out of the box, be creative and make an eye catching resume in a professional format comprising all key elements. Key elements of it includes summary of who you are including contact details, education, experience, skills, hobbies, and awards (if any). You might think of adding photo, but it’s not mandatory.

Beige Geometric Pattern Food Server Professional Resume

From my perspective, the colour, border design and the overall layout of this resume is perfection. There are 4 different headings in this template that are summary where you write about yourself and your hobbies, key competencies where you write the things related to respective job that you are perfect in, education where you write about your educational background and experience where you write about your involvement. It’s not necessary to maintain the same length. You can reduce length of experience and competencies and add other headings like awards, hobbies and objectives using the template for layout and design only.

Dark Gray and Beige Minimalist Graphic Designer Resume

The black and red colour of this template complement other so perfectly and the design at top corners acts as cherry on top. Add a short and sweet explanation that depicts everything about yourself under ‘About me’, and add relevant descriptions under the respective headings. ‘Profile’ is not necessary so, you can replace it by ‘Skills’ or ‘Competencies’. There’s a photo frame in it that I think is making this resume look a little inferior. So you can remove the photo increase the size of ‘My Resume’ and drag it along the margin line of second column and make it look this way.

Also, the pattern is creative than other templates. Write about yourself, your skills, hobbies under respective headings; however, you are supposed to write your educational background under ‘My timeline’. Personally, I found this different and the most attractive.
