Can't AMazon grab his neck?
I'd rather grab him, really. Just sent a link to my Amazon HR contacts.
An Amaz-ing Resume

Re: An Amaz-ing Resume
#112So, Phil uses Amazon's design as a spoof for a resume. Aside from the is it copyright or not discussion, I am curios how this differs greatly from people leveraging the svbtle theme? Every time someone does that, multiple people pop their heads up and talk about blatant ripoff (even when credit is given). Sure, we have Amazon as e-commerce and this is a resume, where the other case are both essentially blogs. But, yo…
Svbtle's design is based off of a standard, free Tumblr theme called Clarus. If you really wanted to edit that to have a white background and black text it'd take a few minutes tops, even for someone that wasn't familiar with CSS. I am definitely in the camp that if you're using the WP-Svbtle theme, you know what you're doing.

#113@phildub You should take it down, before Amazon sue your ass! IMO Unoriginal but creative

Re: An Amaz-ing Resume
#115I don't like that. I don't want to be the asshole, but here it is :
1- No direct mention to Amazon, Really man? Not even a thanks? Not event saying if you are a fan boy (I am!)?
2- Spelling isn't a big deal, but in a resume, seriously?
3- Not humble at all, ie "...and maybe some creativity, who knows... ;-)" I don't want to hire or to work with someone who likes the smell of his own farts.
4- Finally, an Add on your resume... And no amazon doesn't put adsense on their pages... If you want to make some money that's okay, but just say it! Why lying? ... Epic Fail.

#116One 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.
This is the first article I recall reading on that subject

#117I have to say, this shows a lot of skills in web development. It's creative, even if the look and feel were borrowed from Amazon. This shows someone who can make something that "Looks like this..." If only I was hiring...
Yeah, agreeing with victorhn. Any frontend developer worth half their weight in chocolate can replicate an amazon page in a about 3 hours (making all the adjustments he has).
I'm all for creative new approaches to resumes (I did it myself to find in internship while in school), but this is lackluster at best.
