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.

"No copyright infringement intended". Isn't the act of copying Amazon's style intended copyright infringment?

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.

Thank you, I really appreciate.

If you click the "1 star" link, it jumps back to the top of the page (the photo of the guy). I'm not sure if it's supposed to be insinuating that he's "one star" available, but I thought it was mildly clever.

I believe it's just the fact he has no e.preventDefault() or onclick="return false;" for the old school guys on the link action. In thish case, the browser is simply looking for a named anchor that doesn't exist, so it jumps to top.

You know, those two are not incompatible. He might have left out the preventDefault() call on purpose.

"16% of reviews have 1 stars" ...

Well, yeah, it's directly from the original product page I worked from. I didn't have a fun idea for that part, so I left it as-is with a blank link. If you have a good idea, I would totally do it :) Thanks! Philippe

I would link that a "review" to your answer to the common interview question: "What are your weaknesses"

"Phil Dub often works too hard and put in too many late night unbillable hours on projects as he is a perfectionist"

Seems to be so. I've only seen similar disclaimers on (copied) Youtube music videos before. This might be the copyright version of "I am not a [racist|homophobe|...], but ...".

Wow! That is one cynical stance right there.
