If you’re like most HR people, you’ve seen more than your your share of resumes. Are there any that stood out from the crowd or that particularly stuck in your mind over the years? How do you feel about video resumes, would a 6-second Vine clip get your attention? Would a stylized infographic impress you? What about a resume that is converted into a chocolate bar?

More recently, we’ve found some interesting examples of creative resumes, many harnessing social media. We’ve gathered some of the most creative and unusual examples of resumes for your perusal. Whether or not they’d make it through your screening process or they succeeded in landing the candidate the job, they’ve certainly succeeded in gaining some momentum in social and traditional media.
