Many people have won jobs because they thought outside the box, and it’s this form of alternative thinking combined with modern technology that means you can create a killer job application nowadays. Today a CV doesn’t just have to be words on a piece of paper. You can easily design a stunning document on high quality paper, whilst you may decide to have an online portfolio of work if its relevant to your industry, and you can move your potential employer from looking at the paper document to a website where they can interact with you and learn more about you. There is also the option of creating a video to tell the world you’re looking for a job, which many people have done with great effect. If you can be a little bit different and possibly a bit wackier, you can draw the right type of attention and move to the top of the ‘CV pile’, even without a CV!
