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?

So hard to get a good job with a fair wage as a foreigner with almost 2 years of job experience for small chaotic companies that basically only work with my own people(race) Had to learn English and grad school during COVID, and get out of there freshly and do not know what to do I just want a company that has some basic benefits and a livable wage😔
For my entire life i have struggled with severe adhd. the kind of adhd where i had extreme difficulty remembering anything due to this issue i had little to no control over i lost way to many jobs over the years. It wasn't until 2025 that i found a medication that actually helped my memory significantly! Now i am desperate to develop new skills and make up for lost time. Now that the problem is mostly under control and i have hit the proverbial glass ceiling at my current job. suggestions?
I've been doing insurance defense law for six years. It has burned me out and I do not think I can continued to do this for another year. I want to go in-house. How do I get started doing that when I went to a fourth tier law school and all I have ever done is insurance defense? It seems like an impossibility.
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?
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.
