This gets a 10/10 for creativity and cleverness. Sorry to rain on the parade but, the application better have a real resume on hand. Because:
Any software reader will not have any idea if this candidate is a fit. It was designed for cyberspace and ironically will whither in the companies data bank.
If the interviewer has a paper copy then it is only useful to doodle on and use as a coaster.
This is a very creative display of out of the box thinking. But, it is not user friendly. It is only useful if someone is reading this on a connected computer. It also puts the burden upon the reader to follow numerous links to ‘research’ the person. This violates the ‘I may only give you 15-30 seconds before moving on’ rule. In other words, in the ideal reading environment it is at best, high maintenance. Only the most impressed hiring manager will stay with it. HR…not a chance. Also, this could raise a red flag to a hiring manager. Creativity is treasured but, if this is indicative of the type of reports that they can expect on a regular basis, novelty may turn into a migraine.
I agree with Amit, if you are applying to Google or some other cutting edge company, this can be a phenomenal tool for differentiation. But, I still say have a more user friendly resume with you.
All of this may change when we get to Web 3.0. But, this one may be more like Web 4.0.
I was doing a google search and this blog came up for real estate in lakeland and wanted to spread the word about a local realtor. I just want to make sure every one sees this shyster for who he he is. See for yourself by clicking on this link: Easy Homes. Sorry if this is off-topic I am just trying to spread the word. (PS – does this site look OK in chrome for everyone else?)
As a Manager, I don’t have time to surf the internet for some ones skills, I need a word resume that is searchable for key words, simple to the point, and I do not care if it is 4 pages, my key word search will narrow it down much quicker than an internet surf.
I simply needed to thank you so much once more. I’m not certain the things I could possibly have used without those tricks revealed by you relating to this situation. Completely was a very daunting concern for me, but being able to see the very specialised manner you managed the issue forced me to jump over gladness. I’m just thankful for the work and in addition expect you know what a powerful job you have been getting into instructing people today thru your web blog. I know that you have never come across all of us.

Hahaha … Great Resume..Certainly a Future 3.0 one
The resume is really sweet, plan to do it the same way when google interviews me for a job
Very interesting!
Really this is the original technical resume
Wouldn’t you just email over a link to your LinkedIn at that point?
Actually, if you want to really get noticed, the #accomplishments and #experience would have had #hastags and a few html tags, as well.
/.
Plus, end with a smiley. =o)

If I’m recruting, and made someone print me some sheets to make a “casting”, this CV it’s a plain Zero.
No a clue of who this person is.
A couple of true remarks here mate.
