If he's looking for an animation- or illustration-heavy position, I think this is perfect. I'm sure it'll catch the eye of at least a few creative directors out there, at which point the standard HR process becomes a bit moot. I mean, he can always send a plain old PDF resume if he finds himself applying online for some random position, but I doubt he'll need to.
Anyway, I really like it. No, it's not perfect—he loses some points for listing Dreamweaver as a skill—but it's good fun, and it certainly makes him stand out.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoDreamweaver is probably used in corporate web design settings quite a lot being a part of the Adobe toolset and all. Perhaps he's pandering to his market? What tweaked the nose of my bete-noir was the entry of HTML and CSS under "Scripting and Programming languages" - but I think it's fair to say he knows what he's doing, seriously impressive design work going on there.
- phaus 13y agoTo most non-coder types, to include management and hr people, HTML is a programming language and CSS is a question mark. For many of us who code, however, it really hurts to see someone misclassify nearly anything. I'd be willing to bet that he knows the difference and simply decided to simplify his resume by pretending he didn't.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoIndeed - as I said "I think it's fair to say he knows what he's doing".
- phaus 13y agoI see quite a few places advertise for Dreamweaver experience, so it makes sense to put it on a resume. He's first and foremost a designer, so I don't think it will hurt him too badly. Besides, just because someone uses a tool that you don't respect doesn't mean that they don't know how to code without it.
