Most employers like to see 1 page with just the facts. Maybe think about how you could make it as simply as possible, using just typography. I would resist the urge to get too creative with your resume — it’s an opportunity to show your information design skills, not your illustration skills.

I agree, and I think the reader will be more impressed if you can convey clear organization just through the arrangement of text (and images on the examples page) alone (i.e. without boxes, extra slashes, etc.)

Separate your CV and your portfolio. They should be documents that can stand on their own individually.

Loose the gradients, stretched boxes, etc. Anything put on here should be done with purpose...not just to decorate.

Having sifted through CVs on a number of occasions in order to compile a shortlist I can honestly say that, as FeeltheKern says, one side of A4 is massively preferable.

Short and to the point. Make the design readable and simple. You should be aiming to outline your skills and achievements and offer information on referees and suchlike.

I generally skim multi-page CVs which means I may overlook something vital I admit but when one has a pile of 50-100 job applications time is of the essence.

Oh, and one other thing, you have spelled ’halloween’ incorrectly on your examples page.

What Darrel (aluminum) said. And after that, you might consider changing the hyphens in the date ranges to en-dashes, and the hyphens at the front of each list item to bullets. Restricting the ellipsis (“I enjoy...”) to just three dots (or indeed switching to a colon). A close-bracket after the Media Studies grade, etc. A general proofread and typographical tidy-up, in other words.

Some employers won’t notice or care about typographic niceties, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the one you really want to work with will. And obviously you want to, since you’ve posted here!
