Alternative CV format

An alternative CV uses an original and eye-catching format or clever wording to show off your creativity. You could consider using this approach if you apply for creative jobs such as a graphic designer or advertising executive.
It’s impossible to summaries what usually goes into an alternative CV because all of them are original and different. But examples are:
    presenting your CV as an advert, maybe if you’re going for a job in advertising
    printing your CV on decorative paper, if you’re applying for a job in visual design
    presenting your CV details in a story format, if you’re applying for a creative writing job.


What are the pros and cons?You might like to use an alternative CV if:
    you're applying for a job needing visual or written creativity and you want to show off your originality
    you know the person you're applying to and you're sure they'll respond well to an original approach.

This CV format might not suit you if:
    you're applying for a management job
    your CV will go to the human resources department and not a person on the creative team
    you're applying for a job that's not in the creative industries.
Use your judgement when thinking about using an alternative CV format. If you’re in any doubt about whether the employer will respond well to this format, it might be wise to play it safe with a ‘normal’ CV.
As with all CVs, the most important thing is you get across the information clearly and prove you can do the job. If a complicated design gets in the way of this message, it’s probably best to stick to a more traditional format.
