'2D streamable' resume then ?
scrollable?
scrollable has a 'non-limited' feel in my mind, continuous translation allowed , as in google maps. A stream is more a one dimensional idea, and here you get 2 streams, sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal, but you can't go everywhere by combining both.
Anyone saved a cached version of this?
Cute, and very impressive. But I cringe whenever I see a resumé where someone rates each of their skills on a scale. We're all familiar with the idea that true masters are generally the first to admit that they have a lot more to learn.
I'm told that Google asks employees to rate their technology skills on a scale of 1-10. Guido van Rossum puts his Python skills at a 7.
The lack of imagination here is just staggering. Holy cow. I mean first and foremost you're just getting a link to this directly, who's to say he doesn't also have a RESUME.DOC file that he sends out, including a link to this page? Beyond that, I feel like this guy just might be looking for companies that are willing to take 60 seconds out of looking through a stack of nearly-identical paper resumes to indulge someth…
There seems to be some confusion between a resume and a portfolio. While this is clever, unfortunately what it does is make the job of getting the candidate's details harder. Say I have a pile of resumes and what not on my desk, and this. I want to compare them. Easy with the pile of 2 page resumes and attached portfolios, but with this I have to muck on a computer, trying to make out various bits and bobs, then even…
I run an interactive agency in NYC. Showed this to my creative director and business partner and we pretty much reached out immediately. This kind of creativity and skill isn't easy to come by. YMMV.
In all seriousness, I thought it was not only an awesome idea, but extremely well executed.

If he's looking for an animation- or illustration-heavy position, I think this is perfect. I'm sure it'll catch the eye of at least a few creative directors out there, at which point the standard HR process becomes a bit moot. I mean, he can always send a plain old PDF resume if he finds himself applying online for some random position, but I doubt he'll need to. Anyway, I really like it. No, it's not perfect—he lose…

Dreamweaver is probably used in corporate web design settings quite a lot being a part of the Adobe toolset and all. Perhaps he's pandering to his market? What tweaked the nose of my bete-noir was the entry of HTML and CSS under "Scripting and Programming languages" - but I think it's fair to say he knows what he's doing, seriously impressive design work going on there.
For many of us who code, however, it really hurts to see someone misclassify nearly anything.
I'd be willing to bet that he knows the difference and simply decided to simplify his resume by pretending he didn't.
How much would it cost to hire someone to do this? Non-technical guy. I would love to try this out. It is attention grabbing. I have used bobble heads, cakes with my sales proposals to get into the door. Corny, but stuff like this works. I sent Robbie a message. If anyone else knows how to do this or something similar please message me.
