It might catch the eye, but I don't know if it'd be good attention. It could make them think you didn't double check your resume before submitting it. I'm all for thinking outside the box, but I'm not sure I'd try this out.
It reads like a job description not a resume. It needs accomplishments, measurable positive impact examples and positive adjectives like:
Dependable
Diligent
Persistent
Disciplined
Tenacious
Detail-oriented
Dedicated
Self-motivated
Accountable
Industrious
Methodical
Systematic
Precise
Thorough
Meticulous
Innovative
Visionary
Pioneering
Artistic
Imaginative
Resourceful
Trendsetting

Having been a recruiter and hiring manager and having worked with dozens of graphic designers, I respect the creativity but it's more likely to make them think you didn't "bother" to make sure it was a "legible" (read: standard black) font.
I think it’s going to depend on who the hiring manager is and what the companies company is looking for I think some managers are gonna admire the creative choice. Others are gonna think it’s unprofessional so at the end of the day it’s gonna be a pretty big role the dice no matter what you choose But maybe it doesn’t hurt to try a few and see what kind of response you get
It may catch someone's eye if they see it but the problem is they may not get to see it at all unless you get a chance to hand it to them personally. Most of the creative formatting on resumes causes issues with applicant tracking systems. Your resume may be immediately rejected or misinterpreted when you use certain kinds of formatting like columns, shading, italics and other formats that are popular particularly with the AI resume systems. Your best bet is to have great content and good old Times New Roman font sized 11. Keep it looking simple and clean. This is easier for human reviewers too. Nobody really likes to review the "creative" resumes. Focus on the words not the look.
My biggest gripe with this actually isn’t the blue or choice of font, it’s that you’re not selling yourself well and the resume feels generic from the few points I can see. Particularly with any kind of managerial or director level role, HR and recruiters are going to want to see front and center what your skills are, the highlights of your role, and the impact you made, and will likely scan the resume. If in the first 30 seconds they can’t ascertain the key things they’re looking for, the resume will be tossed. I would rethink the structure and organization of this completely.
It is not attractive. There are tons of other ways to make your resume look more attractive (eg snapshot from a Google Docs resume template).
As others have already responded, the way you first present your skills to catch their first 30 seconds is most important. Also consider that likely your resume will be automatically scanned; so better have the keywords they want to see if you want to have a chance at a human reviewing a printed version.
Agree with this one. Your dark blue could be section headers, but probably not main text
I'm all for trying things to see if they'd work, but I'd start out skeptical on this one. It's one of those things that may make someone wonder if it's deliberate. I'd also have a concern about whether automated scanners might get thrown by it. But depending on the people who will see it, it might catch their eye.
I would also say get rid of your address, just put in a city and state. You don’t want PII data on your résumé.
if this is the format of your actual résumé, in your bullets, you have no results. You may make a statement of “facilitated XXX project coming in under time and under budget“ but that lists nothing about how you delivered, what were your results?
Be absolutely sure to include your results with the position/role. Otherwise, nobody knows how you deliver and it’s probably a good possibility they will not get you to the next step in the hiring process.
Back in the day….waaaaaay back even before email I got many interviews by faxing photos of famous people saying things about me in my in my handwriting. (“Pass me the White Out. I’ll tall you later.”)
Your portfolio is what matters the most for creativity. On your resume list the clients you worked on at each agency
I expect a much more designed resume from a creative.
