*cough* Note: most of the resumes say designer or architect which are creative
fields. Not necessarily ideal templates for the average job. Particularly if you plan to
proceed into a technical or financial field. Id recommend making a side note in the
article.

Some of these are appropriate for Germany where they /want/ you to put your
photo, date of birth, marital status, if you have kids, if you have a drivers license,
etc on a resume. Its wacky here, guys.

Most companies dump the resume through software which looks for key items for
the position they are hiring for. Its better to take time to assure you Taylor terms
used for position description rather than decorating your resume.
