The rigors of time and technology have led us to pay even more attention to resume writing than we did before. Full-design resumes, however, still rule. Plain text ones on the other hand are not favored much, unless your resume is required to go through an ATS which specifically requires you to write your resume in plain text.
In all honestly, plain text resumes can be a pain to write. New age technology has hotwired us to work with designs. This suits some employers very well – others, not so much. So for people who are applying for a position that requires them to be creative, a colorful resume makes sense. For corporate types, a full-design one will do. Following is a sample of a full-design resume for a restaurant cashier position:
