When searching for a job, sprucing up your resume is one of the first things to do. However, in the hyper-visual age we live in, the design of resumes, in terms of presentation and format, is undergoing a dramatic transformation. 

Chip Cutter of the Wall Street Journal reports, "as Gen Z enters the workforce, companies are seeing digital CVs filled with artistic flourishes, including illustrations of college mascots, logos of past employers and icons to denote hobbies such as home renovation and watching movies."

How much can a highly stylized render or a creative headshot really impress an employer when looking at a resume? Cutter continues to dive on the subject, "while earlier generations played with eye-catching print fonts and horizontal lines, today’s tech-savvy young people have a new arsenal of tricks. Many throw in headshots. Some add bitmojis, the personalized avatars used in text message."

Some employers share that they enjoy and appreciate the personalization. However, how far is too far when it comes to pushing the limits of self promotion and professionalism?
