I had a graphic arts teacher who pointed out to our class that art and
design professions are not like "normal" jobs. Resumes can be expected
to be a bit more creative. Even though that was twenty-some years ago,
it still seems to me to be fairly accurate. Was she giving out bad
advice?
I like the idea but I think it would actually turn off some people. This
would be a great idea for showing a startup company that wants people
who are *vibrant and dynamic(tm).* But it might be to flashy for the
tastes of the HR manager at Old Stodgycon Inc.
