Do you think these C.Vs are abit over the top if you are not in the design business & are just applying for a general job?

If I received a C.V like that, I would just think you were a bit of a wank.

2/3 pages are the norm for a CV. You'd need more than that to cover your employment history/business ventures

Being serious now,

on that site, the most impressive IMO are 'chris spooner's' one & 'niamh redmond' as they are clear, to the point and not over the top. Although I look at engineers CVs and Admin Staff so previous work experience for me is key, whereas web designers would be education and experience perhaps.

Once they see the record, it won't really matter what font you used.

You want a creative job, you send a creative CV. You want a normal job, you send two sides of A4.
