Maybe you do not need an eye-catching, but you do not need to begin your resume consistently. Letterhead is the best and easiest way to do this. You can design your own very simple, using the features in any word processing program. Letterhead features your name on the first line.
Letterhead includes your full mailing address, the telephone number where you can be reached during business hours, and your email address. By the way, lose any cutesy or gimmicky email monikers like partyallnight@ or muscleman@. It is hard to take such names seriously. Set yourself up with a free address at a major search engine to keep your job search correspondence easier to track. This keeps it separate from your personal email or your work email.
Never use a current employer's email address. You do not want your prospective employer to think (or know) you are not giving 100% to your job while you are working. Also, take the time to review your voicemail mesages on the phone numbers you include on your resume, both home and cell. While you are in the job market, refrain from music, clever hellos, or other weird greeting. Try not to think of this formality as stifling your personality, but rather as improving your chances for getting the interview.
The point is to make it as easy as possible for your reader to recognize you and to contact you with minimal effort. User the same letterhead for all your job related documents, including cover letters, thank you notes, or submissions or reference information.
