[...] I snagged a killer illustration job from Bob Hazlett over at One Half Amazing. You see, Bob had this genius idea to take his existing resume and transform it into a comic book and after I showed him just how BAM! POW! SHAZZAM! awesome I was he was sold! Have a look at the finished product. [...]
[...] and SocialCamp, and is just a generally nice guy. He has the most creative resume I have ever seen, it’s a comic book. Bob recently started working for Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau so look for great things [...]
I absolutely love how this turned out Bob! Hooray for non-traditional resumes!!!
This is original and awesome. Also love it highlights everything are you. You are not 1/2 amazing, you are 100
% awesome
You could be 3/4 amazing in Nashville, LOL! Seriously though, this resume is extremely creative and totally unique.
Great new idea for a resume. Love the comic book approach, however not very certain how this will sit with the professional industry and hiring managers
And again, how the heck will someone digitize this and search?
You definitely stand out from others. Excellent resume.
Hey I love creating comics to explain things. They really work well online as people will click through. Still the time needed to go through the whole presentation is much larger then a single page representation. And also when you print it to bring to an interview I fear they lack the overview a diagram has. Just my 2c$
Great point Patrick. I had some of the same thoughts when putting it together, thats one of the main reasons I put a summary page at the end and also have an alternative resume that doesn't have any of the super-hero images on it. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks so much.
I understand that not all hiring managers or organizations are going to “get” what I'm trying to do, but I believe the few that do, will really love it. I've also created a second text version that helps with search.

This could be a great strategy but it depends if you find the right forward thinking people who will understand it. I was thinking of a similar approach as well as using outrank.com to boost my websites PR and help get my projects noticed.
