I've been tempted to do something like this with my CV. However, I'm concerned that the use of icons and colours might be seen as immature, unless of course you're looking for a position as a designer: in which case it makes perfect sense. Have you had any feedback on your CV format which you might be able to share?

Fair point, there definitely is a danger of over doing it. I'd keep it simple. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication after all.

A designer at a startup that I interviewed with, said it stood out from the hundreds of other CV's they'd received which meant they at least looked at it.

I've been told that my CV is OK for startups and the above companies. Less so for fintech, big corporates and academia.
