But no matter what you’re applying to, if you’re keen on using a “creative resume” (which by the way, doesn’t seem to be defined in here as anything other than an infographic), you have to remember that your first line of defense is likely to be HR. And the person in HR is looking for specifics – words, experiences, accomplishments – things they can use to sell you to the hiring manager. So they might not be impressed with creativity as much as the Creative Director, and they won’t be impressed at all if your branding message is lost in a sea of unnecessary graphics and fanciness.

It makes sense to send samples or mailers that demonstrate skill or accomplishments and make a resume available as needed. I generally have mine easily accessible from my website.

People that are going to pay you to do a job even in the short term want to know that you are worth it.
