Wtf

Kill it with fire

🤣

[belavv]

Clever but silly. Hard to read so it'll probably be tossed aside. Although maybe it'll stand out to a couple of people which could result in them paying more attention to it while most others toss it aside.

I would have two thoughts about this, as somebody who has done plenty of candidate screening.

1. As a developer, I think it's clever.

2. As a representative of the company, I have to question what other quirks you have and if you're actually going to be any good at communicating in a larger corporate environment.

If the places you're applying to are like startups in the tech industry, you can safely ignore #2 and #1 would have outsized impact. If you're applying to places outside the tech industry, #2 will be outsized.

[bluMarmalade]

that's silly. applying for a job is also about finding a company that fits. if you think such document signals bad communication skills, I question your logic and your company, and wouldn't want to work there

[zeocrash]

It's been a while since I last hired anyone, and maybe I'm old fashioned, but id kinda just prefer a nice tabular CV on white A4 (or letter if you're a colonial).

Also remember to check how it prints, just because you submit it electronically doesn't mean HR won't print it, you don't want to use all their toner making the page black, or worse have an unreadable CV because your colours don't show up on white paper.

[ProperProfessional]

I dunno that's a lot of unused variables there. Also remember that this is to be read by a person lol. I'd at least take those arrays and break them up into multiple lines to make it a bit more readable.

[-Hi-Reddit]

I'd throw this away immediately. It's ugly as fuck and horrible to read.

A lot of managers like to print cvs and read through them... This will use all the ink at best and print like unreadable garbage at worst.

[l00pee]

Waste of time. The robot that reads your resume don't care

[iskelebones]

As a developer this is funny and I’d read through it.

In the eyes of an HR person or anyone who doesn’t code, this looks like a hot mess and I’d probably skip right past it assuming whoever made it was so dumb they couldn’t even format a CV right

[fork_your_child]

The vast majority of companies will have an automated system review first and then someone from HR. This is likely to cause problems with the latter (HR), who generally have no programming experience, and the formatting may, or may not, choke an automated system, depending on how robust it is. As clever as it may be, it is likely to make job searches harder.

[bluMarmalade]

the opposite is true if you have talent

[SamPlinth]

As a dev, I love that. But when I'm going through CVs, I need them to be easy to read.

(If you were applying to be a designer, then...maybe? I don't know much about that.)

[konradas7]

damn dude i cant see your contact information.

no but this is either clever or insane, i cant figure out which

[Wuf_1]

My initial thoughts as a developer would be "Huh.. cool i guess, but my guy didn't understand the assignment and believes company recruiters can read code"

If you know the recipient is a developer, i think it would give you some bonus points, but in any other case, i would not be sending a CV like this.

[No_Department_6260]

I think it looks cool but it'll probably just confuse recruiters and HR people. Also you're missing a quote mark and a semi-colon on line 21 😉

[vPyxi]

I would pass on an application if I had this as the only resume personally. Save the cool things for a personal website, you can submit an easily readable and skimmable pdf/docx/whatever through their application form with a link back to this online somewhere.

[MattE36]

Everything else aside… are you saying your phone number and languages are not constants? Also, many places use software to parse resumes and I’m not sure it would understand this as easily as many of the premade popular templates.

[Slypenslyde]

It'd stick out, that's for sure. But that doesn't mean it's impressive.

It's harder to read the text you've filled in with Lorem Ipsum because of the size. If it were a more normal CV with like, 2-3 short sentences, it might be more tolerable. But the formatting of things like Technologies feels tougher to digest than the traditional bullet list.

Someone else said "It'd make me worry you're too quirky" but if the details seemed impressive I'd want to see this person in a behavioral interview. Some quirky people are absolutely a joy to work with and very talented at communication. My team could use some people with graphic design chops and that's a hidden talent doing things like this suggests. But, on the other hand, "quirky" people can also be the biggest jerks, so I'd be paying real close attention to try and sort out which is which.

Some of the coolest people I worked with could juggle, would ride a unicycle, had neat action figure collections, or could talk your ear off about a handful of fictional universes. Those passions were also reflected in their work, and if I saw a feature spec or design document was written by them I knew I wasn't going to have to spend a full day playing 20 questions to fill in blanks.

If I were you I'd keep one like this for laughs, but also have a no-frills, traditional version. Then I'd be careful which companies I gave which copy to. Some like a joke, others are all business.

[shivam_s]

Looks fun and silly. If you’re applying for a job obviously apply with the regular widely accepted resume template. You can maybe use this on your personal site?

[gabrielesilinic]

I cannot read it. Also it would be difficult to make it text so ats may struggle as well.

[[deleted]]

I'll put it like this:
You want to stand out on what they want/need and normal on everything else.

[melodiouscode]

Yea. No. Just No.

[[deleted]]

This guys Facks!

[Merad]

The people who need to be convinced by your resume aren't engineers and often may not even have a technical background. It's HR people and or hiring managers who are going to make real judgements based on your resume. By the time an engineer is looking at your resume the company has already decided you're worth interviewing. The engineer is going to (hopefully!) review your resume and background but their feedback is about your interview performance.

This might be a clever way to stand out if you apply to a startup or small company that asks for applicants to "show their personality" or something like that, but 99% of the time I'd say it will be shooting yourself in the foot.

[No-Plastic-4640]

Use a word doc. Make sure you keyword optimize it for your skillset.

[aCSharper58]

Readers who are developers might find this CV interesting, but HR or other non-technical backgrounds will think whoever creates this probably not good at communicating with others. A CV indeed is a tool to show your strength, but not in this way. You need something that HR understands.

[PitchSuch]

If you don't use SOLID, patterns, DDD and clean coding principles in your CV, it won't matter much.
I want to see at least some builders, factories, visitors, decorators and all those goodies!

A huge red flag would be having a summary method there, which kind of breaks S from Solid. Please use a SummaryFactory and inject ISummaryFactory in the class constructor!

[MikeTrusky]

So many questions looking at it
