Forum Contest: Interactive Resume/CV

Wow, I'm speechless. Awesome example... But I think that I don't have the necessary skills to apply, let's see next time :)

Hands down one of the most creative things i have seen in Web Development!! Beyond anything i can do though, good luck to anyone who enters!

Six days is not much at all to create something worthy. I suppose every web designer/developer consider portfolio must be perfect.

Does it matter if the content of the resume is not in English?

Stephen Mariano Cabrera - No, not at all. I'll be looking at creativity over specific content if that helps.

As delightful as the example interactive resume is, something like that might actually be quite off-putting to an employer for several reasons:

• There's almost no structural markup, so the page is not accessible at all (Bad semantics)
• Towards the end, I'm pressing the down arrow to go 'up' (Bad UX)
• It took me roughly 5 minutes to see everything, when normally employers prefer to scan a resume in under 15 seconds (Poor catering to several audiences)
• Some content was covered up by banners on my 11 inch Macbook Pro, preventing me from seeing it all (Lack of design testing)

Anyways, while this is a fun contest promoting interactive design, as a web community, we should at all times be focused on the content first, then adding fun interactive elements to surprise and delight all users. Not just being creative for creative's sake and abandoning traditionally accepted UX principles.

i'll be out of town this week so i can't try this one out. :( Good luck to the rest of you!

Sweet contest idea! Let's get this party started!

That CV is pretty amazing, what a great idea. What languages did the guy who wrote it use? am interested to know how he built something like that.

Thanks,, erh I was to busy running about to read !

Woe, that will be a tough challenge for a newbie like me. However, it's worth trying and I guess it will get more advanced the more skills you have :)

I have to agree with Davie I was too busy running lol. However on the serious side for newbies certain guidlines would help get us started I have no idea how to do this.

Okay! So I'm still learning about CSS & HTML, I haven't even started learning JS. So here is something to help everybody out. I designed an eye catching cover page that will get HR attention. :) Enjoy and have fun it. http://codepen.io/Peterg/pen/zEqDy

I think this a better one. http://codepen.io/Peterg/pen/zEqDy

I just saw this on the Bell icon; you guys really care about the members of treehouse and {even if this sounds like brown nosing} things like this make every cent worth to continually have treehouse as a part of my learning journey!

As a practicing HR pro ... this is a great idea!

This is an awesome idea! I actually don't have the skillset to make something as amazing as that one above, but I know that I have been toying with the idea of an online resume for some time. I may actually put together something for this. :)

I love the idea:) I am going to design something too.

This is great i just applied to a job and used this email template but to avoid loading problems across browser i put it on my website see here: http://www.shjohnson.co.uk/email/

Quick Question to Pasan Premaratne Can you use templates ? From lets say Themeforest or does it have to be out of scratch ?

This is my first project ever! Extremely proud :-) I know that It's not nearly as good as the other competitors, but I've been longing to be part of a treehouse competition, so... this is my contribution :-)

Have an awesome day fellow coders :-)

Here is my Resume http://resume.izoe.org

Press "spacebar" and enjoy it !

I use middleman, a static site generator, and html/scss/jquery to build my site.

The git repository is https://github.com/iZOE/zoe-resume

I like the idea, really cool :)

Here's mine: http://resume-alpha.michaelrwiss.com/ . It's super sloppy.

It's an update of http://resume.michaelrwiss.com/

Some really nice sites here, I had a go codepen - code . codepen - full. Still needs a lot of work but any feedback is much appreciated :)

Hey everyone,

I'm thoroughly impressed with all the entries! You guys put together great resumes in such a short amount of time. The goal of this contest was to give you an incentive to get started on being able to showcase your skills to employers and you did just that. Now that you're past the initial hump, keep working on these ideas!

On to the announcement :) Congrats to Zoe Peng and her winning entry! It was really hard to pick a winner guys, you all did so well but here's why Zoe won:

• She nailed it with the creativity & interactivity angle which was the the theme of the contest.
• Her entry is custom built without the use of any frameworks.
• She did all the animations in CSS without relying on JavaScript (and it performs well too!)
• She made effective use of Sass
• It was quite easy for me to view her past work and access her GitHub profile.

Great job everyone! Stay tuned for the next contest.

Cheers, Pasan

Woot! Congratulations, Zoe Peng! Amazing entries all round... there is some serious talent in here. :)

WOW! thank you guys :) That's so great news for me <3 <3 <3
