Thanks Steph, I'm actually pretty impressed by the outputs from that site. They look quite professional - almost disturbingly so!

I work with clinicians and biomedical scientists. They look at the weight of their CVs, as in "Mine's longer than your's!" It's not unusual to see 40, 50, 60 page CVs.

I've just learned that someone called Ric Hamilton is starting a blog on "the emergence of infographic CVs". I wasn't aware of the phenomenon, but just to shamelessy cash in on it, here is the one I produced for my interview at the European Centre for Environment and Human Health. Anecdotally the panel liked it, and it made me stand out. But it was for a job in visualisation... (Incedentally I did get the job).
I still prefer the CV I made for myself when I was an undergraduate though. When all else fails, stick it in a cube :)
Edit 2: Richard Hamilton's post has appeared here: http://www.gurucareersnetwork.com/blog/infographiccv/ It looks like there are mixed opinions, but his general opinion is that you should ask yourself: "Simplifying complexity, does this form part of my job role? If the answer is yes then an infographic CV could work in your favour, for everyone else, the humble two page CV is just fine."

Not sure if you've seen the Vizualize me site - interesting way of going about it for those without the Infographic skills.
