It's not about trying to catch attention, it's saying "I'm so good that even though this is totally unprofessional you're still going to want me"

- magashna 7y ago...you're going to want me...kept away from others due to HR cringing at my presence.
- AceJohnny2 7y agoYou're not filtering him out of the hiring pool, he's filtering you. ;)
- passiveincomelg 7y agoThe real WTF is: Apparently there is a place called "Unalaska" in Alaska!
- reaperducer 7y agoMy understanding is that the in the local language "Alaska" means "Peninsula," and "Unalaska" means "Near the peninsula."
- badsectoracula 7y agoYeah, my own resume isn't (or wasn't, it has been years since i updated it) that flair-y, but it does have a sidebar with screenshots of stuff i worked on (with my face doing a weird look at the top) and is in mostly prose style with bold text for each of the projects i worked on (bold helps to scan for stuff, at least that was the idea). I've been told a few times (by friends) that this isn't how resumes are supposed to look like but my line of thinking is that if you are so stuck up that you want a specific format for a resume, then you're most likely too stuck up for me to want to work with you :-P.
- AceJohnny2 7y agoMy team is in a full-on hiring spree right now. I've opted out of it because there's no process. Ultimately, it boils down to people's gut feelings, which is so disgustingly random.
- shrimp_emoji 7y agoIt's the resume equivalent of Culture ships with silly names/AI personas. At a certain level, it's boring to just be good. The interesting challenge becomes to stay good while being silly as fuck. And that's why I'm serious and professional.
