under progress ;-)

I'd suggest making them links to LinkedIn profiles of your friends. You know, the ones whose resumés make you look good by comparison ;). Even if you don't get hired, maybe you'll do one of them a favor.

Neat idea, thanks

My first thought was he'd managed to somehow list himself on Amazon. Now that would be impressive.

Where is the painful Amazon checkout process?

What is painful Amazon checkout process? Did you mean painless one-click buy that makes me spend more money on Kindle books than I would want to?

Very clever. Had to check the URL after I arrived to see what was going on.

Doesn't have to be the most readable format since he has the same information in other places.

One concern is this, in the footer: > This website was made in Jan 2013 by Philippe Dubost for the sole purpose of a playful and creative job search. No copyright infrigement intended. "No copyright infringement intended" is not a thing. Also, right below that it then says: > © 2013, Philippe Dubost Seems a bit strange to me.

A better statement would be that it is intended as satire, to comment on current state of our society and so on.

The 5 out of 5 stars (233) link sends you to Amazon "Mr. Coffee ECMP50" page. This is very confusing. I think the idea is novel.

Fixed, thanks. This coffee machine is the product page I worked from ;-)

Outstanding idea! I've been in the industry of viewing resumes for a very long time and love to see someone take a risk and try something new. Well done.

I don't think it is satire; I think it's just a cool idea for a résumé.

EDIT: Oh, I see what you're saying. Call it satire and it's ‘fair use’
