I have a gripe with this whole "resume 2.0" thing.
It's not about a flashy design. It's not about specifically targeting the company you want to work for.
It's about standing out from the crowd. Being special. Once everyone and their mother start creating a "resume 2.0", it will become a commodity, and designers and developers will need to devise new ways of attracting employer attention.
- bendmorris 15y agoI totally agree. The first couple were novel but now we're seeing these on HN every week or so. The novelty has worn out.
- wmeredith 15y agoYep, pretty soon you'll have to have a resume app in the app store. ;) That's a joke, but I guarantee we'll see one soon. It's probably already happened and hasn't been well publicized. I also recall reading a story about someone who targeted a resume promoting Facebook ad at a single person (their desired employer's creative director) in New York if I'm not mistaken. It's an amazing time to be in publishing.
