1. Put Comic Sans to useNow Comic Sans isn’t a bad font.
It’s just over-used and badly-used.Now it’s the best way to look unprofessional.
Increase your CV’s repellency by including this font. To make a bigger impact, why not use this font in
your headings and body content?
2. Make everything super colourful!Colour is great. It can direct our eye to headings
on a page so we can breakdown a CV for reading. It can also distract and confuse when overused. A surefire way to increase ugliness is to choose a rainbow spectrum of colours and splash them
around the page!
3. Bad formatting! Using bad formatting is possibly the most effective way to enhance ugliness. Good formatting will make everything easy to read. But to confuse readers you’ll need to have no use of spacing between heading and paragraphs. Be sure to mash everything together. Why use bullet points when you can make a solid paragraph?
4.USE CAPS ALOTLET’S SHOUT YOUR MESSAGE REALLY LOUD!! BECAUSE WRITING IN CAPS IS A GREAT WAY TO HURT YOUR READERS EYES. WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET THROWN IN THE BIN? EVEN BETTER, WHY NOT OVER-USE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!

5. Slap on the Clip ArtBoy, aren’t we grateful to those people who
created clip art? It looks super naive and unprofessional and what a great way to convey
that you don’t care how your CV looks. So find the ugliest piece of clip art you can find, then get
crazy with the copy and paste.
