Matt’s resume tip #34: Spice up the text version of your resume on Careerbuilder with some FIREWORKS:
.·: * :·.
Everyone loves fireworks. Tell me someone who does not like fireworks. Therefore, you should put fireworks into your text-version of your resume. Employers will JUMP at the chance to interview you.
C’mon fireworks ASCII art. Who can resist?
.·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·.

.·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·. .·: * :·.
P.S. Using ASCII art fireworks in the signature of your email is like the fireworks grand finale. Everyone will ooo and aahh.
P.P.S The ASCII art fireworks also looks cool as wallpaper background
Thanks to AC for posting the fireworks ascii in my blog post, One-line animal ASCII art: fun for IM and txt messages
How bout these fireworks courtesy from Joan Stark’s geocities site (http://www.geocities.com/soho/7373/july4.htm). It cracks me up that there are geocities pages still active. My first webpage was on geocities… in 1997. I tried copying and pasting the ascii art to this page, but there must be some code on that site that prevents copying.
My comment cannot be posted at this time
tom, did you try my special comment tester (it’s at the SECRET url)
Let’s try again I love it! You always have great tips for resumes!
I believe I still have a .pdf of one of your resumes you sent to me that is based on a map. Very clever and very cool
Oh, and I don’t have the secret URL bookmarked at work =”>
I STILL CANT DO THIS I MEAN I CHEAT ( COPY AND PASTE) AND IT DOESNT TURN OUT THE WAY I WANT IT 2!!
Mackenzie Allen, try saying “Abracadabra” when you paste it. Always works for me.
