My CSS3 Animated Resume
ivanca.work
ivanca.work
What I felt could use improvement...
One, your photo made me feel as if you were not enthusiastic about work, or what you do. I am not saying take a fake thumbs up picture, but at least have a smile as it does change perception for employers.
Two, it was really slow, and I did not like the "typed" effect. It was great at the start, but carrying it throughout the entire resume was really redundant. I lost interest when the JavaScript comment popped in. Maybe a Pause/Play/Skip feature?
Three, the sentence "I got deep knowledge about," bothers me, and doesn't flow well. I recommend "have vast experience with," or pick your flavor of adjective.
Four, instead of "Thanks for your time!" I recommend, "Thank you for your time!" as it is more personable.
Five, ensure you are consistent with how you present things such as CoffeeScript. Which you identified once as "Coffeescript," and in the following slide as "coffeescript" with a lower-case letter.
Six, you only state you have "deep knowledge" of Laravel/Yii/jQuery/Angular/CoffeeScript/etc and you never provide evidence or proof. Instead of animating HelloWorldMyNameIs code, I recommend showing actual products of that experience.
Just my two cents.
Plus if you look away for 5 seconds, you can easily miss an entire section or two, and it ends on a screen with no summary, menu, or anything but the email.
> Three, the sentence "I got deep knowledge about," bothers me, and doesn't flow well.
It's ambiguous. Did he just get it, or does he mean he has it, or is it because his English isn't great an he's mixing up got and have?
> Four, instead of "Thanks for your time!" I recommend, "Thank you for your time!" as it is more personable.
I had a teacher say to never end a paper with those, and I think it applies everywhere. It literally adds nothing, it's complete filler. If I liked it and found it interesting, I want to thank or hire the person. If I thought it was uninteresting, the thanks isn't going to do anything for me. Look at most other sites... Does Paul Graham not appreciate HN readers just because the pages don't thank us at the bottom? Just send a thank you email after your interview!
And then first Google hit was this:

Just link your profiles in the footer and please, please, please do not animate them at all. If you don't do that and if eventually one desperate recruiter googles your name... He will be surprised, because I couldn't find anything excepting this murder story :/

But that is not the right Ivan Castellanos. The Ivan CSS3 animated resume is from this Ivan Castellanos:
That one does not show up anywhere on the first couple of pages of Google results. Even if we narrow the search specifically to Github by Googling for "Ivan Castellanos site:github.com", it does not show up. Apparently, he doesn't have his name anywhere on his Github pages, so Google doesn't find him.
LinkedIn has over a hundred Ivan Castellanos profiles. I gave up when I saw that so have no idea if you can find his LinkedIn that way.
Good luck finding a gig!
Avoid weasel words like "truly" and let the value words like "believe" stand alone, or pick a stronger value word if needed ("convinced").
As someone who hates pictures, I never smile for them either. I find the grammatical errors mentioned elsewhere much more important.
It's important to see the world as it is. That doesn't mean that one should give up one's ideals on how the world should be; rather, it means that one should clear the cobwebs away from ones eyes so that one can endeavor to make changes where they have impact.
Quick comments:
- get a better photo, not a passport photo, where we mostly look like criminals. Have a photo of you outdoors or another setting with more natural light.
- Coffeescript?!? Isn't it outdated, didn't the creator even say not to use it anymore? Use ES6. Just tells me you're not good at choosing tech.
- Last slide, can't click on your email.
But my impression is that CS is slowly dying or becoming obsolete and there aren't major benefits over using something like ES6/TS etc. So choosing something like CS would raise a question whether the applicant knows how to choose technologies wisely (all in the context of working with other devs who probably don't know CS and also working on projects that need to grow and need to be maintained for years to come).
Bigger projects have moved away from CS: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20098 https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/4065
It takes an experienced hiring manager 5 seconds to make a judgment about whether to invest more time in reading a resume. I might give it a temporary reprieve because of the novelty, but once it became clear it was full of empty claims instead of demonstrated experience (in anything other than CSS animation) I would move on.
Yes, they will skim over it and get a whole picture view of the information, zooming in on interesting parts, but I think that's part of what's expected to be possible. If we can't skim ahead to what we care about, we might even ignore this resume, or this website, or this ad, or whatever the item in question happens to be, and look for the next one.
From https://caniuse.com/#search=transform it looks like non-vendor transform is supported pretty much everywhere including IE.
Why do I keep on seeing vendor specific transform prefixes?

Not sure why you need a whole javascript python tokenizer...
