I was curious about this. As a student who will be applying for an engineering job one day, I'm not sure what the rules are when it comes to resumes, but I had a feeling that flashy was not the way to go.

That said, some of these look really good. My favorites are the Stars and the Shearling Point options, both of which are just subtle enough for my tastes. Best of luck to Mr. Caldwell in his future endeavors.

From what I've heard from my recruiter friends, you want to prioritize flow, readability, and scan-ability over flashy.

Recruiters are often at-times swamped with thousands of resumes (and even more at big companies). They'll spend at most 5 minutes scanning your resume to see if you are a good fit.
