CV Cloud
Now here's an interesting idea.
Nathanael from Pure Caffeine was looking for a webcentric way to showcase his skills for a job application.
Something a little different from the traditional word doc CV.
So he did in the style of a Zoom Cloud.
I don't know about you, but I love this kind of thinking.
It's fun, easy to read and tells me everything he can do.
Here's hoping he got the job.

My cloud would have less of the jargon and more Lunch, Coming in Late, Telling Account Serrvice to Fuck Off, Disappearing for Hours on End and Writing the Occasional Ad.
You can't afford to set up false expectations.
Nice idea this. I've seen one other person (a techy guy) do this but it didn't look quite as effective as this. I wonder what other applications this way of doing things could have?
Oops, sorry I missed this trackback! Yes ... I did get the job, thank you! Although I'm not too sure of the usefulness of tag clouds generally, I think as far as being able to represent summary frequency/statistical information where the actual numbers (or in the case of the skills matrix, the traditional 5-star self-rating) are kinda irrelevant and can detract from what you're trying to communicate ... which is, what are my strong points, what are my weak points.
