Although it's truly a challenge to set yourself apart with a creative resume design solely on paper, this one by Bernadett Baji gets a boost from a wine bottle.
The creative CV becomes the label for a bottle of vino, branded with Baji's work history and skills, and complete with a B&B logo. Other fun details on the resume are likened to wine, such as the inclusion of the year, 1985, which presents the graphic designer's birth year as if it were the alcohol's fermentation date. Overall, the design is simple and sophisticated and a surefire way to catch the attention of a potential employer. Since a creative resume and a bottle of wine are both treats to receive, it's no surprise that this tactic was successful at helping Baji land a job.
