Résumé (C.V.) using Google Maps

I think the title should read "Résumé using Google Maps". The current title is an imperative asking me to start using Google Maps again.

From the Chile push pin regarding interests:<p><i>taking the piss out of my wife and newspapers</i><p>Any UK people care to translate that?

seems good if people in your occupation value geographical diversity in experiences (e.g., if you want to get a job as a travel photographer or international spy) ... not so useful if you're applying for software positions, though

As a proof of concept, this is interesting. For fields in which having experience in different cultures is important, the visual of the world map is really useful.<p>I could imagine someone applying for a teaching position using this résumé approach and impressing their potential employer.<p>For the next iteration, non-truncated location descriptions would be needed.

I read this as "begin using google maps again".

I made something similar a year ago, minus google maps:<p><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/9683205/Resume-with-horizontal-timeline-and-world-map" rel="nofollow">http://www.scribd.com/doc/9683205/Resume-with-horizontal-tim...</a>

I would love to create a mashup of something like this with <a href="http://PleaseRobMe.com" rel="nofollow">http://PleaseRobMe.com</a>

He could have gone one step further and created a .kml file for a virtual tour in Google Earth. That would have been impressive.

I would have embedded the map in another page, and designed around it. The Google cruft doesn't seem resume worthy.

I wouldn't so much call it a resume/C.V. than an intuitive addition to one on a portfolio. Good idea nonetheless.

...? I click it and it brings me to some minimized search/home page. What is this?

No hire. Don't make me click around to read your resume.
