I have a more traditional resume which I used to send out to prospective employers but I've been trying out a more stylized version in an attempt to stand out somewhat, good idea bad idea? I'm looking into several areas of finance as a very recent graduate but my current goals are to get in with some kind of rotational finance program with BOA, Key, etc... as a means to break into entry level IB, portfolio analysis, or an position. Name has been redacted.

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Just my opinion, but the font and style seems a little too eccentric, perhaps go with something a little more conservative.
