Originality and imagination are needed in jobs in the creative fields of advertising, the media or graphics and the multimedia. A creative CV shows imagination but also an understanding of what the job entails. The content should not be overwhelmed by style nor the message swamped by the medium. If you start by producing a standard CV then you will be sure to have the basics right; get the content right before focusing on the design. The content and the presentation are more important than design gimmicks. However, if you have a design related degree, you should be able to produce a well designed CV. It is a question of finding a balance between doing something different and maintaining a professional promotion of your style. Being unusual, just for its own sake, may detract from the key purpose of your CV, which is to demonstrate the range of your skills that relate to the job. Your creative skills can be illustrated via your portfolio; provide a link on your CV to a website with examples of your work. Employers are interested in content, practical skills and work experience; give evidence of what you have created from listings of exhibitions etc. If you decide to introduce a design element to your CV, remember it’s a high risk strategy; some companies may love your design, others might hate it!

原创性和想象力是广告、媒体、图形设计和多媒体等创意性行业是必要素质。有创意性的简历可以展示你的想象力，也可以展示你对工作需要的理解。但是简历内容不能被风格所掩盖，信息也不能被被你所用的设计手段抢了风头。假如你打算制作标准型简历，那一定要保证基本的东西是对的：在设计之前要先确保内容正确，内容和展示文稿比设计噱头更加重要。但如果你有设计方面的学位，你就必须精心设计简历。
