When I was looking for jobs I designed a comic-book version of my resume. It had a super-hero version of myself and a story that unfolded to reveal the different sections of my resume. I also designed a website to go along with it and a musician friend of mine even went so far as to write a theme song for me. It was a lot of fun, and proved to be fruitful as I was hired by a company solely because of my creativity with it. Such a great idea!

I would definitely do it again one day if needed :) Hi Amanda,

I assume that's an Australian word, lol ;) I'll take a look at the book you mention, the car portfolio sounds great. Don't think I'll ever try locusts, but I'm going to do a marketing campaign this year to drum up more local business, maybe I'll post out Yorkshire Puddings!
