I like the ideas of finding non-traditional ways to communicate with would-be employers. For ex, using Facebook pictures as the article mentions. Similarly, although perhaps not quite as creative, I like the idea of using submissions and metrics from various job-related websites if available: Hacker News, Stack Overflow, etc. I question the usefulness of the brochure resume from the article though. In my experience most of my prospective employers have wanted resumes emailed to them rather than given to them physically. Even the ones that do want a physical copy will find it harder to store/organize them along with the rest of most-likely paper resumes that are given to them. Although in that respect I suppose that would make yours stand out that much more. Actually, I think my opinion has changed since the beginning of this paragraph. :-P If you're submitting a resume in person, via snail-mail, etc, it's probably a great way to get it better noticed. I come from more of an engineering background though, rather than the graphic design background that this post seems to be more geared towards. What kinds of experiences have people had with these types of resumes?
