What are the best examples of stylized visual resumes?

February 23, 2011 7:58 AM

I'm looking for the best examples of stylized visual resumes.

For example, I remember seeing a creative resume done in the style of a periodic table - perhaps on Metafilter? Google has turned up a lot of periodic tables, and a lot of resumes... but not quite what I had in mind.

I've also seen a lot of examples of what not to do.

Realizing there is a time and a place for resumes like this, please point me to those that you admire.

Best answer: I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're after - these might be a little too stylized for the professional layman - but I know a couple sites/posts that show examples of really cool and really unconventional resumes:
