Is it acceptable to use the logos of companies you've worked for on your resume? On one hand it is eye catching, but on the other there might be legal implications on using a brand asset. Thoughts?

Curious. How would someone pivot back into doing receptionist work after more than 5 years spent in a higher position? It seems that interviewers can't get past what the last job was, even though it is no longer relevant to the job seeker, and that person is experienced in front reception work, and the sedentary role would be perfect for that applying person.
I've hit a wall with my current position. It's not a career, it's just a job and while I do it well, my heart isn't in it and I've lost confidence in our current management. How do you even start to find the thing we were made to do? If any of you have been or are in this position and have any advice, I'd appreciate it.
Has anyone made a lateral move within a hospital without a clinical background? I've been a cook for 16 years and I'm ready to get out of the kitchen. My position is casual so shifts aren't guaranteed. I've been applying externally but nothing is biting. Recently applied for an internal Messenger role as a first step. Any advice on what roles are realistic without clinical experience?
I am 65 and want to work, but getting hired on at this age is close to impossible. I want a real job with a Good Salary, not minimum wage, when I ve worked in Management. It is So hurtful and humiliating to have to lower your standards. I've been in the job market for 15 years now. I even went back to school at 50 yrs old and got my Paralegal Degree and also went to school at 60 yrs old for Life Insurance Lic. with no luck. Any suggestions on how to proceed. let me know?
You are not using it to make any money/ profit out if it (in complete sense of with that logo) and as long as this is the case, it is not a case of IP infringement. So based this, it is not wrong to use the logo of the firm you have worked with on your CV/ Resume. Hope this helps.
That’s not how trademark law works. Profit doesn’t determine whether you’re allowed to use someone else’s IP. They have the right to decide where their logo goes, with the exceptions of fair use, comparative advertising, and parody. Using it on your resume might come under fair use, but it also might confuse the applicant tracking systems that a lot of companies use to scan resumes. It I think it’s a bad idea.
It is a matter of choice. Personally, I don’t feel logo makes too much of a difference in a resume.
I haven't seen any resumes with the logos of companies. I wonder if it will put any impact on the CV. Still, worth a try.
This is an interesting question. It made me wonder if people ever add a QR code that links to the businesses they worked for or even a QR code to an applicant website or video.
That's a good idea :)
LinkedIn uses their logos and I don't think they seek any permission for that.
