If you are a graphic designer looking for a job, this creative resume is an inspirational source to get ideas from. Designed by Samuel Profeta, this creatively conceived CV looks like a brightly hued [milk carton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra-brik-aseptic). The Brazilian student actually used a cardboard drink container for his 'creativity and innovation' graduate project at Sao Paulo's University Fine Arts Center.

With a goal of making an unconventional and creative resume using an [untraditional and innovative medium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapcv), Profeta went with this grocery-themed curriculum vitae. As if it were product information, all of Profeta's work experience and related skills and education were printed on the carton. He also crafted a barcode and various logos and used his own photos.
