Not very pretty. Gradients and serif fonts make it feel like a stock Powerpoint presentation - very 90s. Presentation breaks down on widescreen monitors (other slides are visible, and the text on them "jumps" when the slide becomes active). Scroll bars all over the place look really bad. UX is unintuitive - I clicked all over before figuring out to use my arrow keys. You could probably fix a lot of that with a little cleaner CSS.
Full marks for trying to find a new way to present a resume, but honestly, a recruiter is going to be annoyed at it more than impressed, I'll wager; resumes that slow you down and don't let you scan for pertinent information are likely to ding you for negative points. To offset that, the resume presentation needs to be really impressive if you want to use it as a dual resume/portfolio entry.
- messel 16y agoThanks, will keep that in mind. Design an iterative process.
- cheald 16y agoAbsolutely. I don't mean to come across as harsh, but simply to provide my impressions as constructive criticism. I think the idea is really neat, since it can give you a chance to showcase some of your skills in a resume-relevant manner, but it does need to be executed really well to work right, IMO.
