</div>Personally, if I was interviewing or hiring someone and they came in<br>
with a resume that had a bunch of useless cruft (images, html), I would<br>
see that as an indication that the person didn't think their resume was<br>
strong enough to stand on it's own.<br>
<br>
Graphics don't belong on resume's anymore then html belongs in email.<br>
<br>
That is, unless you're applying for a graphic art position.<br>
