Youd think a Graphic Designer would…

The last two days I´ve been searching for Graphic Design support for my business. We´re looking for someone who is creative and thinks out of the box to produce brochures, magazine layouts, website layouts, innovative imagery etc and so it all falls into a category of visual communication. So, you´d think that someone applying for the post would apply their creative expertise to their CV.
 
Todate, the best CV has been ´pleasantly´ laid out in pure black and white, with the worst being a bland list in 12pt Times New Roman (don´t call us…). Maybe my brain works a bit too hard but I don´t think it´s a huge conceptual hurdle to realise that a creative CV for a creative post is always going to land you a better response. Maybe my ad just sucked and so I´m recruiting from the bottom of the pile.
