Bit of an oxymoron isn't it? But, the last thing we want is a yes man or woman. We like people who create friendly fights with differing, fresh opinion. It leads to a higher resolution of conflict. Don't be afraid. But make sure you know what you are talking about. A bullshit resume written by someone else will easily be revealed when you get to talk about yourself. Good luck. Keep strong but not stoic. The Baldchemist Successful job seekers? Bit of an oxymoron isn’t it?

However, the use of the term "jist" in item #3 directly contradicts item #5. Believe you meant to use the word "gist." :) These are great suggestions all around.

If the word "flare" brings to mind empty flashiness, than avoid it at all costs. (Clip-art in PowerPoint presentations, anyone?). However, if there are subtle visual elements that will strengthen the overall organization of your resume or help emphasize your main points in a crystal clear way, then these elements most likely will help make your resume stand out from the others. But Duncan is absolutely right - do not go over the top here. As point #3 states, stay within the norm so that employers can immediately and effortlessly find what they're looking for. Thanks for the feedback! - Pete Duncan, excellent point.

Don't add "flare" anywhere. It's annoying. As a senior designer at a graphic design agency, I don't want to see anyone's "talents" all over their resume, I want to see it in their work. "Jazzing up" your resume suggests two things, that you're covering up it's lack of content, and that you're trying too hard. :) All good apart from 3:
