      programmers could never get that colorful... maybe we could get away with:

      Me i;
      int iYear = 1988;
      while (iYear < 1993)
      {
      i.attendRIT();
      i.playGuitar();
      iYear++;
      }
      while (iYear < 1995)
      {
      i.workAtMiltonRoy();
      i.playGuitar();
      iYear++;
      }
      while (iYear < 1997)
      {
      i.workAtMilenniumComputer();
      i.playGuitar();
      iYear++;
      }

        and even if we did can you imagine anyone taking it seriously? (Gulp: must remove background and images from cv...) :-)

              I will probably be held as an old fart, but, geez, these would go right away to the trash. In a resume, I look for simplicity and clarity, I don't want to have to translate from russian or turn the sheet ten times in every direction to be able to read a sentence. Show me what you can do in the appendix, put a few links on your work in the CV, but for god's sake, write in black font on white paper, and in a font available on every PC and not exceeding 12pix. And this, as good a designer as you may be.

                To be fair they are primarily graphic artists and web designers so you'd probably expect something a bit arty-farty or wacky. For a Dev role I just want the facts, clear and simple.

                    - using questionable entity names ("Me") - using 'i', canonically used as loop counter variable, for an apaprently rich object, leadign to counterintuitive code - using hungarian notation on some, but not all variables - using hungarian notation at all - to make things worse, optimg for sys hungarian notation Should I go on? :cool:

                      They are web designers. How do you differentiate between "beating CSS into submission"?

                          I agree. As an arty-farty person myself, I found most of these pretentious as hell, and hard to quickly get relevant facts. Into the trash with all of you!

                                The cool thing is that she can always find a good excuse and pretend it was an artistic effect of some sort.

                                    "My dog has no nose." - "How does he smell?" - "Terrible." Sorry, couldn't resist. :-O

                                      X| X| X| My sister went to an art school. One of the things she complained about was that a number of her classmates were all ready practicing the hygiene standards that they'd be using when living in a cardboard box under a bridge. My sister got a good job for a painting major after she graduated though: babysitter. :rolleyes:

                                        I will probably be held as an old fart, but, geez, these would go right away to the trash. In a resume, I look for simplicity and clarity, I don't want to have to translate from russian or turn the sheet ten times in every direction to be able to read a sentence. Show me what you can do in the appendix, put a few links on your work in the CV, but for god's sake, write in black font on white paper, and in a font available on every PC and not exceeding 12pix. And this, as good a designer as you may be.

                                        True, but I have seen some decent ones as a graphical artist. Basically a CV/Resume should always be targeted at a career/job. If that job is an artist or other creative activity, then the CV/Resume should be creative (within reason). But if the job is serious, or worse, tie-at-work type stuff, then the resume/CV should be equally formal.

                                          Actually, I knew a few of those in college in CS! "Zeus" as we knew him, I don't think I ever really knew his given name (I actually never shared a class with him thank heavens!), he would rarely bathe. They would disinfect the chair when he left the computer center, and I tried to be in a different terminal room.
