Here's my resume: http://www.ideaember.com/resume http://www.ideaember.com/resume
It's important to stick to the constraints of the medium. Lots of whitespace and visuals for online and one page for print. Also important to stay consistent with the rest of the site. Still looking for a clever way to integrate my portfolio directly into the resume without making the resume too cluttered.
P.S. In the market for a product management opportunity
- levesque 15y agoNot a chance to make an academic resume one page long, even for print. There are too many publications to list, and they should all be there.
- orky56 15y agoI completely agree. However for purely professional resumes, one page is more than enough, especially when it is complemented by an informative portfolio/blog.
- sanderjd 15y agoLooks great! Do you generate all the versions of your resume from the same data, but with different presentation layers? Or do you keep each of them up to date manually?
- orky56 15y agoI keep them up to date manually. Honestly, I update the resume page every 3-4 months so it's not too necessary to automate it yet. As they say, fake it till you make it.
- dedward 15y agoAs an aside, I would drop the very informal use of "thru" and use "through". I almost said "Thru is not a word" - but some searching says it's made it's way into dictionaries, to my surprise (and probably to many others my age, you run the risk of having that word jump off the page as a mis-spell that is only used in online text messaging or as a shorthand, not formal writing. Or maybe I'm just getting old...
- orky56 15y agoValid point. I'll definitely change that. Thanks for the feedback!

- jordanb 15y agoThru is used on highway signage quite a bit, "Thru traffic must stay left" etc. No doubt it began as a necessity: fitting a long word on a constrained sign. But its use by officialdom must have been hard for dictionaries to resist. I believe the -ough construct was one Noah Webster tried to purge from American English, along with ph- and the extra 'u' in au and ou. He succeeded on the last points but not on the former.
