Amsterdam, The Netherlands, it's on the line above the phone number and email. And the icon on top of the page.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @03:56PM (#4034717)
Very helpful feedback, thank you. Did you know you can create your own (less sh*tty) caricature at my homepage (peterdevos.com)? The first resume you link to is based on a standard resume template featuring C'thulhu (http://css-tricks.com/one-page-resume-site/), I wanted a more personal approach but I guess I pushed it too far for your taste.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @03:17PM (#4034597)
Yup, using ems for the body font is the problem here, rookie mistake for sure. Thanks for pointing it out, should be fixed now.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @02:31PM (#4034447)
Thank you for your brutal honesty, I really appreciate it. Regarding some your points:

2. How's the layout broken? I'm on Firefox on Windows XP as well, and regarding fonts, this was one of the few Google fonts that actually rendered nicely on my screens in different browsers. Some are utter crap, I really thought I had found one that isn't. Maybe specifying absolute font sizes would fix things.

5. Ouch. Although I'm not sure the layout is completely broken, the graphics could use some more TLC. The 'full stack' image is supposed to convey some mosaic-like design (with the shades of grey) instead of a 'clean' version, but I'm aware a failed miserably in this regard. Will redo the image.

7. No problem.

> I am left with the impression of a Jack of all trades but master of none.

I prefer to think of myself as a specializing generalist, see http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/generalizingSpecialists....

> you don't necessarily have much depth behind any of the technologies

I figured the industry experience covered some of this

> You're a UX designer, but your CV isn't optimised for scannability at all.

Well, I've played the role of UX designer, not the same thing. I focused more on story-telling than scannability here, good suggestion though.

> you're using a static background image .. instead of gracefully degrading CSS3 > you've failed basic cross-browser compatibility > polishing up my front-end skills to get the design into shape

Good points, thanks. Please consider this version 0.1.

> how to organise your content for the way real people are going to read that CV

If by 'real people' you mean recruiters, that's not my primary target audience, I have an utterly boring, scannable MS-Word document for them if needed. Also, the page doubles as an 'about me' page for peterdevos.com and my resume, this may have been a bad decision to begin with.

> rookie mistakes in the design and lack of scannability are letting you down right now

Agree to some extent. That's what this 'Show HN' post was for, to get initial feedback. Again, thank you, much appreciated.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @01:44PM (#4034286)
For a fluid layout with rounded corners I would have probably gone with CSS3 (versus corner divs), but since the block is fixed-size I could just suffice with one bubble.png as the background to upgrade the ie8 experience. And left it at that, being pragmatic and all.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @01:02PM (#4034119)
> What do you specifically do that makes your code better than the other guys?

Nothing specific, I'm just saying I value my code well-structured and readable, as well as DRY and straightforward. The proof is in the pudding (my open-source software), of course.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @12:56PM (#4034097)
I agree with your analysis, in principle. However, my formal university education is twenty years ago, and much less relevant to the self-educated Perl programming that I've been doing since. And this format allows me to highlight this relative relevance, so I just mentioned "Business Administration" in the resume icon. I'm hoping people can assess my coding skills by looking at the source code of my open-source projects.

> ETA: I see you do have a link to your company, which is a web development service provider. Why not point people there rather than the location you posted here?

Here, 'I' am the product. On the company website, 'web business solutions' is the product. It's a different approach to the same end: me finding people to create nice things for.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @12:22PM (#4033981)
Yup, that's why I mentioned it. I think it's important that my code can be easily read and is well-structured. Vote counted!
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @12:16PM (#4033959)
Thanks. Don't worry about the number of technolgies, just make sure you do one stack (one server-side language, HTML, JavaScript and CSS) well, and call yourself a full stack developer.

Drive safe.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @12:11PM (#4033940)
Thank you for the kudos. I experimented with the order a bit, but myself and a friend that looked at it found the flow of information a bit weird when starting with the specifics.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @12:06PM (#4033915)

Hi Chris, thanks for the comments. I agree it's a bit of a visual mess compared to yours, kudos there. Although yours renders as a blank page in my Firefox (v12.0).
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @11:50AM (#4033853)
I'm aiming for the second step with this: after I've sent a recruiter my MS-Word curriculum vitae in Dutch, per specifications, and they're including it in their selection to the prospective client, I'ld like the potential client to consider me for an interview based on the online version.

> Flip the problem around: If your interviewer asked you for your MBTI type, would you think that was a good sign?

No, that would not be a good sign, point taken, although I'm not sure it's that bad when you mention it as an applicant. The relevance for me was describing what kind of guy I think I am (somewhat of an introvert), but maybe I should downplay it or leave it out completely.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @11:19AM (#4033723)
> It really is useless except for self-identifying that you like the myers-briggs categorization scheme and which of the 16 boxes you think that you are in.

That's about the gist of the MBTI reference when I included it in the page.

Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @11:17AM (#4033708)
Thank you for your insights. I thought about this, and try to promote 'me' as a product first (given time constraints) versus the 'web design solutions' all the other freelance shops are doing already. If this doesn't work out I'll probably do both.
Re:Show HN: My Resume 2.0 on Monday May 28, 2012 @10:44AM (#4033556)
Thank you, great suggestions. Point by point: 1) Why is this better? 2) Started out using CSS3, but found this easier to accommodate older browsers. Maybe I should do both? 3) Tried to make it look like the Google Map bubble, that's why it's different. 4) OK, will test. 5) Second paragraph is somewhat of a subtext to come to the conclusion in the third paragraph, but you're right in that it screws up rhythm. 6) Yep, that's a non-designer trying design for ya. 7) It has the same left-margin as the other headers and most paragraphs, but the leading dots give a somewhat false illusion, I think. 8) Thanks, good suggestion, will do.
