One for the reject pile

I was trying to read a resume featuring more funky fonts than a circus poster and I felt kind of sorry for the guy. Someone ought to tell him that his typographic experimentation makes him look silly. If I'm trying to whittle 70 applications down to three promising finalists, I'm looking for reasons to reject applications, and while those reasons are usually fairly substantive, I'm unlikely to struggle through a resume that's almost impossible to read. Somewhere out there is a guy who's not getting jobs and he doesn't have a clue why, and someone ought to tell him: forget the funky fonts. You're a professional, not a circus act.
