This is neat, but doesn’t support the first shell commands I tried- ls, pwd, man. Maybe try to map these commands to doing something related to your resume. This plays more like an Infocom text game than a shell because the commands are arbitrary and need to be learned. If you could treat some of the sections like a file system then I wouldn’t have to type “help” to see I need to run the “skills” command. Maybe just…

Thanks for the input! I'm planning on adding some basic shell functionality and a "directory structure" with some files which ofcourse will be "fakeish" but it won't seem that way.

This is a great example of why you should spell it "résumé". I thought this was some product related to resuming a previous shell session.

Ok, have some aigus.

Never heard of this phrase. Care to explain? :D (googled it and came up with "have some treble" wat? ^^)

Hi HN, hope you're having a great day! I'm currently looking for a remote position as an Embedded Engineer. So I decided to make a shell like resume webpage instead of a classic personal website (since shells = love). The project is version 0.00001 (lol), just wanted to ask you guys what you think of the idea and if you have any tips on what to improve :). You'll probably quickly see there are a few bugs (on mobile p…

Cool project! Is your handle a reference to filk music?

Thanks! And lmao no, my irl nickname is Filka, so filkatron.

As someone who occasionally hires technical people, I'm torn on this one. The process at my employer is that resumes are submitted via the web site, they get stored in a shared folder (each application gets a folder with all of their attachments plus whatever they entered into the form on the web site), and once the competition closes the people doing the hiring (usually a manager and a team lead) review them. When I…

Thanks for your input and sharing some useful info, I already read similar things here on HN and other sites where people describe similar hiring processes. To be honest with you I don't like them, but I understand the need of having one in a bigger company.

I understand your point, however this resume isn't intended to be the first contact with a future employer. It will be contained in my pdf resume once I update it, but I hope the employer will notice it. I'll probably mention it in a cover letter or similar.

But as quadrifoliate already stated, this resume is a reverse filtering against standard hiring processes. I'm actually looking for a smaller sized team which I hope will be full of hackers that like to fiddle on the low level side of technology etc.

The text cursor is put below the prompt when the window isn't fullscreen:

Also, on trying to copy the prompt to paste here, I noticed the mouse cursor disappears on everything but links, and whatever I select is immediately unselected.

It's a cool project.
