Можна зробити резюме менш формальним, додавши додаткові блоки, які містять корисну інформацію, але подають її в "розважальній" формі. Наприклад, що подобається і не подобається, сильні і слабкі сторони, перелік навиків чи хобі, інфографіка або ж інтерактивні модулі, тощо. Варто написати контент такого блоку раніше, ніж починати верстку, бо його розміри впливатимуть на розміщення елементів на сторінці.
