This is cool, but as a hiring manager I prefer to be able to read the resume quickly and easily. I’ll probably have over 100 resumes to look at for any position

This is cool, but as a hiring manager I prefer to be able to read the resume quickly and easily. I’ll probably have over 100 resumes to look at for any position and a finite amount of time I can allocate to each resume.
- filkatron 6y agoOfcourse, this is just "toy" resume. The real one is a pdf.
- Igelau 6y agoOn the flip side of that, I doubt OP wants to work for someone who doesn't have the time or the inclination to put serious consideration into something novel.
- dhimes 6y agoAgree- but having the time and inclination to put serious consideration into something novel doesn't mean they have the time and inclination to put serious consideration into everything novel. It's a risk. Make it an "also" not an "instead of."
- rgoulter 6y agoIf someone makes something novel, that can attract attention, sure. But if you're initiating a communication (e.g. applying for a job), it's polite to communicate clearly and respectfully. I think making something like this for fun is neat! +1 for sharing it, too. But, it'd still be a poor substitute for a plain-old resume & cover letter.
