You fail because you are using a complex way to do very simple thing. I think you need to brushup you software engineering skills.

How dare anybody have fun and explore new things! Everything should be done the right way with no exploration or messing around with stuff for fun.

I took it as satire. Guaranteed somebody could find a way to disqualify an applicant for this. Here are some hiring manager thought bubbles:

* "Oh boy, this takes me back to installing Slackware from floppies. So I guess you're more of a backend/systems guy? This is a full stack position. Are you sure you want to work on the frontend?"

* "Amateur hour. Copied somebody else's bootloader. We really would like to see more systems-level contributions to open-source projects."

* "Overkill. Somebody who can't see how a PDF is appropriate here won't be a culture fit. Does he think I have all day to figure out how to open this thing?"

* "Doesn't know Linux."

Because in the end, it's all bullshit.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Isn't Licence just like a B.S? (3 years of University).

In the US a bachelors is typically four and often five years, if taken in engineering or CS... Is this the European version you are referring to?

Yes, I was referring to the European version.

Nice. I am a little confuse on the different types of education you haven taken. What is a professional degree?

If I remember correctly, it's a sort of co-op degree in France where you spend part of your time in an educational facility, and some time in a company. The ones I've seen last about a year if I'm not mistaken.

There's a bit of a naming confusion going on. First, the title Engineer. In France, many universities propose the title "Ingénieur" (Engineer), but not all have the seal of the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI). If one wants to be an Engineer's Engineer, they must look up the University and see if the CTI sort of recognizes that degree as "Ingénieur", or a "true Scotsman".

In France this is called “alternance”. I don’t know about OP but you can have a “Licence professionnelle” with or without “alternance”; it depends on your school/university.

Without "alternance" as in full time in school or full time in company? I'd guess the latter since the name is "Licence professionnelle" and not spending time in a company would defeat the purpose.

Assuming that employers are going to stumble upon the HTML version of your resume, I would cut out this line from the top:

> Hates design & frontend.

There's only so much above-the-fold space on a webpage (especially on mobile) and it's not worth devoting such valuable real-estate telling people how much you hate anything, nevermind two important skillsets.

Also, your design sense seems to be fine, and you obviously care enough about front-end code on your webpage to have decent typography and legibility and not just use Bootstrap right of the box.

edit: "above-the-fold" meaning top-of-the-page. Sorry, read too many newspapers in my day

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll take a look at the fold space you mention ;)

Nice, but http://r.dakko.us/ is still the winner in my book.

>If you mount the CD, /self.pdf is a recursive entry that contains the entire CD - it, too, should open in your favorite PDF reader.

I didn't even know this was possible in ISO 9660 format. Seems like my next weekend project will be implementing an ISO reader... I wonder if JSMESS has support.
