#cv140
Last night on Twitter Andy, (@Andyqsmith) wondered if it was possible to condense your resume down to 140 characters.
Here is my attempt:
Ed: BA Hons Design/12yrs exp web dev. Prev: Dell/Tesco/Arcadia/UKTV. Skills: XHTML/CSS/UI. Folio: http://www.fuzzyoutline.com/folio.html
I'm not sure it's that good to be honest, there were certainly better examples last night but I intend to work on it some more. And the general consensus last night was that it was cheating to have my URL in the Tweet, but I think that because my job is wholly internet based I can get away with it. I've also left 3 spaces at the end of my #cv140, it's only 137 characters long, so it can be re-tweeted with just RT:
Get over to Twitter Search and enter the hashtag #cv140 and have a go.
Update: here are a couple of the other #cv140's:
@Andyqsmith:
