Very cool resumes/cvs...
-
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++;
}...etc
- 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:

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.

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!

Did you notice the one for the "grahiic designer"? She's good with graphics, but my dogs spell better.

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:

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.

Darn, I read 3-D, not 30. I was expecting something completely different. :(

The resumes in your links were obviously targetted at graphic designers, but a resume from a developer in the form of an ascii art console application or a cool silverlight project would get many bonus points from me. I always try to get something creative by saying in the job posting "Please submit a resume, portfolio, something creative, or any combination of the above" but rarely am I treated to something fun :(
