I'm procrastinating the creation of a new cv.
>I feel like employers might try look you up there
That depends on the field that you work in. In my job the technical manager decides on who to invite and who gets a job. And these guys certainly don't have the time to spy after applicants on the interwebs. Only HR guys have time to do stuff like that. But I doubt they would sort you out if they don't find you online as long as the documents that you send them are fine.
It's a bad habit. And that it's more tiresome dealing with average life around others in any work environment prioritizing socialization moreover than strength and skill.
I think I've been privileged with the work I've selected thus far, except its winter and the only jobs available now are built around a visible hierarchy.
Presuming that modern corporations and employers are used to globohomo minimalist design, I'll approach this resume with the same mentality: Simple, clean and straight to the point, which saves a lot of time styling a resume to supposedly "stand out" from the crowd. I could be wrong, and I likely am, as my preferred style of getting a job is to spam my resume, then talk to the employer or just show up and get an immediate job, no human resources meddling involved.
Now the other issue is getting a cheap phone contract. Prices haven't improved here a single bit. It was nice in NZ that I could deposit $ 5-10 every three months instead of $15 monthly. This will likely discourage some employers until I get a phone number.
Simple clean and straight to the point sounds good. I made my last resume with Libreoffice in such a manner. Just make sure it has the necessary info and looks nice. There are also good guides online, at least for German business practices.
Idk if having design skills and making it look really fancy will help, if you have the skills or interest work on that, but maybe just get a nice and simple cv first, send it out to 3-10 places and then improve it further, refine your design skills while waiting for replies.
