It's been a long time since I've been on the open job market, but I remember receiving the 'make your resume stand out from the others in the pile' advice. I even remember using heavier slightly textured stock for a while to test its effectiveness. From my own experience the only thing that really made a difference is being recommended by someone. All other tactics basically amounted to nothing.

- HeyLaughingBoy 12y agoExactly this. I don't know a single interviewer who cares about the style of a resume unless it makes it harder to read. And then it's in danger of being tossed without reading.
