My doctor brags I cannot be cured. I said fuck-it and now talk freely saying all kinds of things an employer would frown upon. My doctor is an India nigger.

I guess disability is my justice for impotence. Harsh. I hope God hurts my doctor, too.

God says... C:\Text\DARWIN.TXT

ub-species are comparatively rare; and, as Asa Gray again remarks, if these connecting forms which are now rare were to become totally extinct the three sub-species would hold exactly the same relation to each other as do the four or five provisionally admitted species which closely surround the typical Quercus robur. Finally, De Candolle admits that out of the 300 species, which will be enumerated in his Prodromus as belonging to the oak family, at least two-thirds are provisional species, that is

I had to scroll to the bottom of the page to find the small link to preview the templates. Before I sign up for something, I would want a better idea of what it was I was signing up for. You may want to make the Preview Templates link a little more prominent.

Actually I couldn't even find the link even after reading your post. I'm on an iPhone and that might have something to do with it, but still needs to be more visible.

Neither could I, was about to mention that he should have a page with the samples so that you can inspect them before signing up. Then I read that comment and still couldn't find it, I searched for templates it and then found the links at the bottom that has almost the same color as the background... (on win+chrome at least).

I tried it out - very nice work! I really like the design of the landing page. A few comments... LinkedIn doesn't seem like a great reason to "Go Pro" since I've likely already copied all of my info from LinkedIn just to try it out in the first place. However, the other features, such as analytics and additional templates are awesome additions that I might want after I try it. If I were you, I would seriously conside…

Is the formatting of the document really that important. I would have thought the employer would be focussing on your qualifications/experience rather than your design skills in MS Word.

Haven't applied for many jobs lately, huh?

Not in a while :) If I'm honest I do pay attention to the design/formatting of my résumé, I still would hope that a good employer would be more concerned about the information on the page. It can't always be counted on though.

Great web app, very simple and intuitive. A piece of advice: you should allow hyperlinks. I'd use them to link to my GitHub profile and the websites of my previous works. Also the possibility to manually change the ordering of both the skills and the previous experiences would not be bad.

Nice App. But adding a Buddhist monk is very bad. You can't do that. It's shame. You may not be an Buddhist. But for us this is like jesus as my mascot. This is shameless marketing you are trying to do with insulting a religion.

I don't like to discuss here something like this. But this is bad.

The form data is being auto-saved to Local Storage using the Sisyphus jQuery plugin. So if you are using a modern browser, you don't have to worry about losing any unsaved data.

I'll fix the links shortly.
