I see a lot of resumes for a variety of positions (usually at customer sites, who will ask me to look at resumes of people they are hiring for our software) Unless you arehiring for a graphics/design type position... Fancy schmancy doesn't impress me and I will ignore it because you are covering your inadequacies with a fancy face. You got skills -- show me the skills.. in black and white print.

I totally agree with this, as I said, we have a small company and I DO look for out-of-the-ordinary on the resumes I get. I'm sure if you typed in something I'd appreciate many employers would not. Take my advice with caution, it's just my two cents worth. I have been accused of being different many times.
