I didn't have the exact same layout but it had a similar feel and it was quite successful. The people at Apple as a whole appreciated the unusual resume design more so than any other place I have applied.

It started as something I used as a freshman in college to grab their attention and plead my case before the recruiter realized my age (I also took my graduation date off resumes given in person). I had mixed results but, hey, I was a freshman and getting some conversations was better than none.

OK, thanks! I just wanted to know if it was the design or the big name on resume ;-)

I also "decorate" my CV with e.g. different alphabets of languages I speak and some headhunters told me it's perfect. No issues getting interviews at top companies, smaller ones hesitate more often.
