Ok this one came from the Careers Channel over at the new Netscape site.
With everything being 2.0 these days I guess it wasn’t long before Resume 2.0 came along. Vianney Lecroart a 30 year old French developer has created a resume based on Web 2.0 features and ideas. To quote Vianney:-
I’m a 30 years old French guy living in Jouy en Josas / France.
I’m looking for a job as a Team Leader, I enjoy working on challenging projects using Extreme Programming methodology.
What is interesting other than being a bit “gimmicky” this style of resume actually provides you a better idea of what Vianney has done and can do, it also shows the type of person he is. In my mind a great example of showing your skills to a prospective employer. I also love the use of colours and styles that simulate many of the popular Web 2.0 companies out there.
I know what a good recruiter would do, but what the average recruiter would do if he applied for a job using this resume?

A recruiter from Yahoo has been courting him for a few months now, but continually wants a resume. One of the emails is from a Yahoo recruiter who has been talking with me on and off for the past few months. He keeps bugging me to send him a resume. He told me why a resume is needed, cause it’ll help him find me a job that’s a good fit for both of us. [...]

Kinan, that is an interesting concept, however a resume includes a bit more than just things people can do. Having said this I think a tool like this is certainly a step in the direction of Resume 2.0

[...] In a manner very similar to 43 Things and 43 Places Kinan has highlighted a new site called Things I Can Do as a potential Resume 2.0 tool. [...]

[...] Quelques blogs ont relayé l’information. Par contre, les votes sur les sites de news n’ont jamais décollé parce que le sujet n’intéressait pas ces communautés. Je visais un marché très spécialisé, le marché des recruteurs dans les sociétés web hi-tech et je savais qu’ils n’étaient pas faciles à atteindre. Malgré cela, j’ai tout de même reçu une demi-douzaine de mails de sociétés françaises spécialisées dans l’Internet 2.0 qui étaient intéressées par mes compétences de programmeur. Malheureusement, comme je l’avais écrit dans mon CV, j’étais à la recherche d’un poste de manager et donc le profil ne correspondait pas. [...]
