"Looks" aren't a consideration for a resume; most people don't mind if it's ugly or not. What people care about is content. Does this resume tell me what you learned and accomplished at your position? Does it show responsibility and experience? Can I see a career path? Can I see any patterns I might not like, like very little time spent at each job, or re-using the same technology? In terms of getting a job, that's a completely different story. That involves the steps necessary to get a resume on top of a desk, and to inspire the person reading it that this person has more value than the others. Those are not easy things to do, but they often do more to determine whether you will get hired than the content of your resume.
