Creative resumes definitely catch the attention of the reader, help showcase your creative talents, and set you apart as a candidate.

It's important to consider that not all applicant tracking systems will pick up the keywords, especially when saved as a PDF document.  A creative format may also limit your space in writing valuable information.

Traditional resumes are more boring to look at,  but  they are the expectation for some traditional corporate companies.

A traditional resume will always allow the keywords from your resume to be picked up in an applicant tracking system. It can also be helpful to keep one more traditional document that lists all your experiences so you can refer back to it. It is also easier to edit a traditional resume in the future.

Creating a LinkedIn Profile is a great way to connect with employers and demonstrate your experiences, skills, and abilities. Jobs are posted daily through LinkedIn.
