Don't know if this will excite you much, but it works!
My stepson has been out of work, and tried everything he could think of to get a job.
I worked up a standard resume, and posted it online for him.
No colors, no bells, no whistles.
When prospective employers were contacted, they were given the link to his resume, and that's what they saw.
It got plenty of hits, and he got plenty of calls before it came down.
