visualize resume

两篇讲美化简历的日志,从第一篇阮一峰的日志可以链接到第二篇(click)。乍一看心里还在想,若要使能这么做简历简直太炫了。直到看到英文那篇日志最后的评论,才算是豁然开朗。转贴到这里。


All of them suck. It’s nice eyecandy, but as a recruiter I wouldn’t want to waste my time to read them. My eyes would be hopping around without focus and I would be confused where to read next.

Evalotta Lamm's one would be the best of them if she had used only one column and a classic list from top to bottom. All the others that use two or more columns or completely defy any resumé standard are crap.

Imagine what Albert Lo's, Luc Pestille's and Sarah Parmenter's example looks like if the recruiter has to copy/print the resumé in black and white…

Also never ever make your name stand out in a huge text size, come down from your high horse. No boss cares about someone that proudly displays his name, but has little experience or bad works. Even with a succesful career, you don’t need to show your name in an egoistical, arrogant way.

Playing around with a resumé design is only for people who can't come up with a convincing portfolio. Be creative in your works, keep your resumé simple and boring.
