Albert's hack is definitely impressive, and would make him stand out. I'm surprised at some nay-sayers here. Suggesting he use SVG? Nothing impressive about that.
I phone screen a lot, and would be impressed by Albert. However, if you are strong on resume, knowledge, and interviewing, you don't need any special tricks. I think such tricks are important if your resume does not support the position you're seeking: either a mediocre school, no degree, long unemployment, or switching industries.
As for acing a phone screen - no silver bullets here, but it pays to know something about the company and the screener. I know we're just company #923 to you, but don't show that.
