Pretty cool, but would be a lot cooler if you were to hire a professional typographer / designer.

I agree. Your themes are very nice (and there are an impressive number of them), but they're missing that last bit of polish a designer could bring. For example, in Chelsea and Marianas, the big text is too big and needs a bit more breathing room.

But I also want to stress that I think this is really great.

Do you mean for hire one for Creddle or hire one to design your own resume? Either way, I've seen some beautifully designed resumes done by professional designers.

Hire one for Creddle, yeah. You have an amazing starting point, just need that little extra (ie. someone who knows The Vignelli Canon backwards).

Yup my design skills can only go so far (: And I'd imagine it would be a fun project for a designer.

Designer here. Would be a blast to work on.

I've designed resumés for friends which HR managers have told me won their attention and priority simply by looking a level of craft and professionalism above the rest. The difference between a self-created Word resumé and one well-designed is exponential, especially in an environment where sensible people dwell.

Let me know if there's any way I can help with this. Cool project.
