I've gotten some compliments on mine. It's a mod of a popular LaTex template.

#72Serious question: what do you think about including magic the gathering PTs and Worlds participations as a teenager in the CV? Given that it is for a programming role maybe people in the US would see that as a sort of acomplishment? I come from a non english speaking country so my university and companies where I've worked are largely unknown (and I'd like to apply for remote jobs in the US or EU)
You could include it in a hobbies section or something at the bottom. Most hiring managers would not view it as a relevant accomplishment.

#73I just used this template: https://www.careercup.com/resume
It is not very creative, but I believe it shows a great space management and certainly looks professional. It is very similar to some other CVs already mentioned. I've used only the Microsoft Word template, but there is in LaTeX.

#74I have had tremendous success with very unorthodox layouts, features and subtle use of colors on my resume via Adobe InDesign. https://www.alecgorge.com/Alec%20Gorge%20Resume.pdf I used to completely redo my layout every year while I was in school and had success with it. Especially at the collegiate level when many resumes are the same in practice, something new for the recruiter to look at goes a long way. On quite…
Cool resume. Boiler up! If you're ever looking for a job back in Indiana hit me up.

#75I use a pure ASCII txt. You can make dividers by repeating a character like '#', but i don't really use such eye-candy.
Hah, I like you.

I have to admit, a resume that lists superpowers is easy to remember.

#79I like a little creativity, it also tells me if a recruiter actually clicked in the link. People either love it or don’t really care... http://www.strategic-options.com/resume/
I hate it. When I'm hiring, I have 100s of CVs to look at, and on my first sweep, every CV gets no more than 30 seconds. Your website takes too long for me to figure out, so I pass on it. Life's too short. (I'm guessing it's not the first time someone has said this to you, though, so good on you for keeping it.)
It's just a little slow, the website was probably getting hit
quite a bit.
But thank you, based on your comments, I wouldn't want to work for your organization or ones that you are hiring for. I get job interviews on the website alone, so thanks I'm doing fine. Basically the website is recruiter repelant.

FWIW, the navigation buttons in the lower right aren't working for me in either Firefox or Chromium. I can't figure out how to get the webpage to show me anything other than the titlecard: Chad Humphrey A click & show resume Sr. PHP Developer Not that interactive resumes are always something to avoid (I couldn't say - I've never been handed such a resume in the hiring process), but I think this is a great example of…
Navigation is lower right corner, which you might have already known. Other wise it might be an ad blocker issue? Thanks
