That's a pretty website and an interesting approach. Some comments:
- Your "Which resume would you choose?" To be honest, I'd choose the one one the left, it's cleaner and gives just the information I want from a candidate.
- As a "stand out" resume, the one on the right has some rough edges, it has emojis, "cv's" would be better "CVs", resume and CV are synonyms, no need to list both, the non-English quotes, using a hyphen where you should use an en-dash "January 2020 – present", definitely needs polish.
- In lots of places your would never put a photo of yourself on a CV, there are quite a few locale-specific conventions like that, do you have the flexibility for that? Perhaps have locale-specific templates?
- If aiming for a US audience (and I guess you are, resume is the usual US name for what would be a CV in the UK), you'd be better posting this late afternoon in Europe :-)
Good luck!
- gobienan 6y agoThanks for the feedback! - It's been a while since I checked the comparison. But it is good to know that you would actually choose the left one. This means others would too. So I need to work on that for sure. - I heard from a US user that a photo is a no-go so I added the feature to hide it in the templates. But here in Germany it is pretty common to add a photo. - Ahh good tip, I need to consider the time of my post! Thanks again ️
- silveroriole 6y agoSpeaking of UK/Europe, the cookie notice on this site (one of those “if you continue to use this site...” ones) should be changed. Because it’s annoying and a dodge, but also because “This does not represent valid consent, even if the mechanism also includes an ‘OK’ or ‘Accept’ button.”
- gobienan 6y agoYeah, I hate them to but this was the easiest solution I had at. I will offer a decline option very soon because I am not so much interested in the analytics anymore.
