Not much to add that hasn't already been said.
I had a friend who was doing some hiring for a fairly unique position that required a lot of "outside the box" thinking. The person who got the job was the person who had their name, address, etc. at the top and a simple line at the bottom to the effect of "I can and will excel at the XYZ position." It wasn't just the resume that got the person the job, but it certainly got my friends attention. The person brought in a "real" resume to the interview.
Not for everyone (and it certainly wouldn't work in traditional applications), but it very much caught the attention of my friend.
This is the same friend whose title on her cards is "Director of Operational Chaos and Panic". I love her!
