  Instead of sending in a traditional resume as requested I made a "resume page" and sent a link. Wasn't sure if this would work, and had a few friends tell me they weren't sure what they thought about the idea, but it ended up working and I accepted the position! Moving from Portland, Maine to NYC in two weeks time. Fourth state we've lived in in as many years.

  Congratulations.

  Hopefully during your time there, they'll encourage you to put a little space between your paragraphs...

  • can't pat the dude on the back w/out spanking his bottom a little... can ya? :)– PonyBoy1/6

    To be honest, I only pat people so I can get to spank their bums. It's the only way I can get human contact...– detritus2/6

    finally... we have something in common– PonyBoy3/6

    Willing participant.– autonoma4/6

    A tab is a perfectly acceptable paragraph marker. What's the problem.– Amicus5/6

    No problem, I'd just like some space is all. You lot can be too goddamn literal sometimes. Often. Usually.– detritus6/6

  why are people shitting on this thread? ffs are you all that cynical?

  autonomy did something out of the box creative, took a chance and succeeded. he landed a great gig and if nothing else his efforts can be used as inspiration for other designers looking to land a new job.

  instead people are shitting on code and going bananas over it not working in ie6. what a bunch of insufferable cunts.

  • No offense.– kona1/10

    Well if you claim to be a front-end developer you better fucking know how to make a site work cross platform.– moniker2/10

    especially a simple one pager.– moniker3/10

    moniker - I am working with a target audience here of 17 Mac users. Why on Earth would I want to even check it in Windows?– autonoma4/10

    Windows?– autonoma5/10

    I was with you until you said you didn't even test on Windows.– Jaline6/10

    For my part I was just being idly dry rather than cynical. Hard to tell the difference soemtimes, I know.– detritus7/10

    hear hear– notverycontrary8/10

    Nice job though. Glad you got a position.– Jaline9/10

    how can you say nice job? that the trick worked or the concept is cool? because it's been executed poorly– albums10/10

  @kona - Appreciate the response, but it's par for the course. I can (and have) posted this very same thing to multiple sites and QBN always elicits the most negative response. It's the tradeoff for a good bit of traffic.

  Other than the standard "this really should work in at least IE9" stuff, I'm not sure what is so creative about a front-end developer creating a web page to show their work. If I was hiring and they sent me anything other than an actual working site I would toss it in the bin.
