The resume is great and displays the proficiency that he has over design but .. Will a recruiter with CVs and Resumes flooding his inbox .. really have a time to look at this ?? I don't think Rob would apply to a company through a recruiter though :D

PS : Again .. I am looking at this from a Recruiter's perspective

Why does it matter if you're an NBA fan.

Putting a bit about personal interests into a CV is pretty standard - you want to display that you have some personality.

The placement is a bit off though - it's in an early important placement, and arbitrarily dividing up sets of skills. His personality is also well shown by the style of the resume itself!

Also, is it just me that is irritated by the vertical style of the "skills" graphs at the start and then the horizontal style when underwater? Was confused what I was looking at for a moment there.

100% agree with you. 9/10 people don't read resumes but skim them and putting so many clicks between and the content will hurt.

But 1) This is solid show of skill 2) He should/can simulatenously maintain a simple version.

It's fun but terribly difficult to read and understand. I hope he provides the "traditional" version as well for the people who just want the information and not the whole shabang.

What do you not know about him after running through this "course" that would change your mind about his skills?
