It may seem like a piece of paper containing boring stuff, but a CV actually forms the first impression of a prospective employee in the mind of the employer. And when it comes to designers, it becomes even more important to have a creative resume ready as it could be really competitive to get a good job.
Graphic designer April Hansen, a resident of Brooklyn, New York has taken the design game to a whole new level with her innovative chocolate bar resumes. She has taken inspiration from Adobe’s design programs and used them as cover for milk chocolates.
She has added a few words to the letters in the logo to make them spell positive messages about her.
1. Adobe Photoshop logo saying, “Psst, we’d make great work together.”
2. Adobe In Design logo tweaked to say, “I’d love to work with you.”
3. Adobe Illustrator logo changed to say, “I always aim to exceed expectations.”
Also, at the back of the chocolate bars, April has added some ‘designer facts’ that contain more information about her. She has also added her contact information and social media addresses.
April gives these chocolate bars to interviewers to end the meeting with a sweet note. She also sends them to the design firms she applies too.
This has to be the most creative idea for a resume. If I were an employer, I wouldn’t think twice before hiring her.
