While I agree with your second statement, your first is misplaced. There is a huge difference between "I'm an engineer, can't design, here's my resume(even my HTML5 resume)" and using oddly timed fade-ins, slides, text reflection, etc. etc.
If you try to put that much design in a resume, you get judged as a designer.
