Seeing multiple comments of yours in here (all negative) I can't help but wonder if you have some kind of axe to grind with her? Yes, her infographic isn't flawless. But it isn't bad either, it is in fact pretty damn good. And most certainly good enough to stand out in a pile of standard-resumes, which is about as much as it can possibly accomplish.

(a) I am definitely being very noisy on this thread. Sorry. I'm procrastinating. (b) Instead of simply saying "you're wrong!", why not tell me some things you specifically like about this infographic as an infographic? I am seriously interested in what stories you think this graphic does a good job of telling.

  a) Not a problem. Same here, or why else would I embark on a journey to slay a >50k karma dragon. ;) b) I don't disagree with most of the formal concerns that you listed in the top comment. I'm just saying that I think you're judging her too hard. The goal of a resume is to score an interview. I do think that this one is well enough executed to score above average. Case in point, so far it's been good enough to score a "Best resume I've ever seen" blog-post and a >60pt Hacker News thread.

    For what it's worth, I reread my comments, reconciled them with the fact that I'm just here to kill time today, and zapped most of them. Thanks for calling me out for them.

      This needs to happen more on the internet.

It's bad infographic. It presents a lot of unnecessary info in had to parse way. It stands out just because it is different. I quit considering being different just for the sake of being different to be a good thing long time ago. To quote Jobs again, design is how it works. This was about how it looks. It looks OK, it works badly.
