- karmapolic 9y agothis one is awesome.
- walterbell 9y agoCould you share more about the toolchain for producing the PDF, e.g. D3 to create SVG, then manual placement of SVG in an Inkscape file? Were you trying to block machine readers by using an image for skills?
- rhonsby 9y agoI have trouble parsing your resume. The bars require me to tilt my neck to read. If I don't, it's still challenging. The graph isn't very intuitive either. What I care most about is the description of your role at your previous employment, but it seems to have the smallest font which makes it difficult to read when everything else is so large. Testimonials also take up a lot of space and doesn't provide much.
- wyattk 9y agoA piece of advice, two of the words in the large graphic are spelled wrong (explanation and experience).
- Humdeee 9y agoAlso "teleco". I assume this is supposed to be telco or telecom
- Humdeee 9y agoI am not a fan of this format at all. It is exhausting to read. How many iterations? You have spelling errors in your bars...
- tuananh 9y agoAgree. It's very tiresome to extract information from this.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoI would recommend removing your skill level graph, it doesn't provide meaningful information to recruiting or hiring managers, and takes away due to using an unorthodox visual in a professional document.
- gkya 9y agoI don't want to sound dismissive, but if I was hiring, I woudn't even read this one. Not because it's ugly, but because you're supposed to produce sth. I'll read but not helping even a little bit about that.
- bb88 9y agoYou should be an expert in Computer Science Basics. If I were a hiring manager, (and I have been in the past) I would probably push yours to the side for that reason alone.
- imauld 9y agoAnyone applying for an engineer position that lists MS Office as a skill won't be getting a call back.
- hypertexthero 9y agoThis is one of the best resume designs I have seen. Yes, there are spelling mistakes, but for me, these show a human being behind the words and design. Excellent work.
