Switching to a plain paper resume got me more callbacks than those fancy templates

I spent hours designing this perfect resume template with columns and icons, and after 3 months of nothing I tried just a simple black and white Word doc with bullet points. Suddenly I got 4 interviews in two weeks. Has anyone else had hiring managers tell them those fancy templates mess with the automated scanners?

Right back to using crayons since the fancy stuff scared the robots.
