Having a more unique CV definitely helped me get interviews when applying for my first job. Besides a more basic cover letter & CV, I also made a summary as a one-pager that had some fun css effects and very easily in one sentence at a time explained my skills and the type of work I was looking for.

I’m from time to time involved in the hiring/interviewing process these days and I’d much rather have that people send one short document/video/website that shows who they are (both personality wise + the work they do), instead of a 10-page PDF explaining every job they’ve ever had or every course they’ve taken.
