Just thought I'd make an addition to this. I Wouldn't advise you pepper your CV with formatting/borders/etc. Especially if you are submitting to Agencies.

All Agencies re-format your CV's before submission, to put it into a standardised format for them, and to remove any personal references (but we knew that already). So you can save yourself a bunch of time by just not bothering with pink text (my other half had one of these recently), frilly borders (oo-er!), and the like. Concentrate more on the data.
