If you’re one of many people looking for jobs these days, you know it’s tough to stand out from the competition; having an impressive resume is important, but it’s equally as important to have one that will make you memorably distinctive. Bowman decided that it wasn’t enough for her to hand over a [traditional paper resume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resume-deliveries), so she designed a LEGO model of herself along with a cover letters describing her skills and qualifications. So far, her “resume” has received a lot of attention from more than just prospective employers. It referrers to her in the third person and explains her skills accordingly, for example, “Leah comes with an eye for design and fantastic people skills.” This technique is visionary and noteworthy; it shows that she can think outside of the box and utilizes her skills in marketing and creativity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Resume Design:** Employing innovative and eye-catching resume designs using unconventional materials or mediums. - **Personal Branding:** Using unique and personalized approaches to showcase skills and qualifications on resumes. - **Alternative Job Applications:** Exploring non-traditional methods of job application to stand out in a competitive job market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for innovative marketing strategies and branding campaigns that leverage creative resume designs. - **Design and Creative Industries:** Demand for unique and visually appealing resumes opens up opportunities for designers and creative professionals. - **Human Resources and Recruitment:** Adapting recruitment processes to accommodate alternative job applications, attracting talent with unconventional approaches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Building-Block Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-built-that.md) - [Gendered Building Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-built-that-1.md) - [Pizza Box Resumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reszames.md) - [Drone Marketing Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-shows.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Imaginative Buildable Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-wallpaper.md) - [Building Block Snow Globes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-lofi-girl-snowglobe.md) - [Reimagined Toy Block Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-lofi-girl.md) - [Engaging Isolation-Combatting Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-trucks.md)
