Resume Example
Pros
Cons
A.
This is a classic-style resume that has a stylish touch with the person’s name in a playful script font.
It is easy to read.
The turquoise color of the headers is a bit distracting. Would a different, perhaps a darker color be easier to read? Keep in mind that both red and green are the most common color for those who are color blind. Keep that in mind as they will not read the same color to someone who is color blind.
B.
I can’t think of any!
I am not sure where to begin! This is so visually distracting; the reader’s eye is being challenged to move from place to place without taking in facts.
All Maries in the world is embarrassed by her use of our name on this resume.
C.
The dark background with a reverse font (a light color font on a dark background). You have to be careful that none of the text is too small or too narrow. Otherwise, it is difficult to read.
It implies a classic mood.
Do you really want a bottle of alcohol to be your choice for a resume image?!?
