Rob -- you're like Superman. Could Superman have a resume? Seems like you'd just give them a card that said "I'm f*cking CmdrTaco, damnit!" (The reference here is to a famous fake letter said to be from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs http://www.exophrine.com/2011/06/sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-... ) Seriously, it brings up a good point. If you have lots of name recognition, what's the best way to look for work? I'd sugges…

I greatly prefer Norvig's resume: http://norvig.com/resume.html Tons of amazing feats with lots of details while still feeling normal and pleasant.

I enjoyed that Norvig listed being co-recipient (along with 6 billion others) of Time's Person of the Year award in 2006!

You are very good sir, and also lucky. You are talented and hardworking, but, still lucky. There's a lot of talented and hardworking people here, like you, not as lucky tho.

Not denying a significant random component to success, but success does not seem to follow a random distribution.

If given a choice between picking someone coming off a big success, or someone who looks equally smart but was only moderately successful, many would choose to bet on the person who was successful last time.

If you seriously want one, you can have mine, I have to dig the username and password up, it's been almost a decade since I last logged in, I am sure I have it in an old email somewhere.

I can throw in my 3 number ICQ id :)

Woah, really? Try auctioning it off in Russia. As of few years ago the going rate for 4 digit UIDs was in tens of thousand dollars.

My 4 digit /. UID is also prime. Does that command a premium?

I should get him to the post his joke resume. It's not even just one page, it's two lines on one page.

Someone else can link the joke version and try to get HN karma... I felt dirty just posting the first one.

You must be new here.
