    It's a fun and cute resume, but delving in to the code you see things like;

      function blinkRobbyEyes()
  {
	if (layersMovement != "not moving 2")
	{
		$(robbyEyesCloseDiv).fadeTo(0,1);
		$(robbyEyesCloseDiv).stop().delay(300).animate({opacity: 0}, 0, function() {});
	}
  }
    "if (layersMovement != "not moving 2")" is a boolean that should be passed as a parameter if you're ever going to write a working unit test against that function. Consequently, it shows a pretty poor knowledge of "making nice looking and maintainable HTML5 scrolly animations" in any sort of a real-life environment. Many people can make fancy webpages; someone with "the best resume ever" would be able to make fancy webpages with code that's relatively well abstracted in to testable, reusable functions.

    No, it's really not. It's tacky and takes too long to get all of the relevant details...and they're not even all in one place. Everything a resume should do, this does not. This being included in a sampling of workpieces is a different story.

    Not to mention it's a repost.

    Wow, best?! EVER?!

    Where can I find this list of unchanging objective criteria for how good a resumé is, so that I can apply them to my clearly inadequate CV?

    I saw "Loading..." and left after 3 seconds.

    I am not sure this is the 'best', as a hiring manager in my work life, I won't be too impressed if this is the only piece of information delivered to me. It is a useful piece of reference nonetheless, but definitely cannot replace a regular normal resume.

    I think this is creative and shows some serious design skills. I am looking to hire a designer and this got my attention, so I'm reaching out.

    So I'd say it works as a resume.

    Cutest? Sure.

    Creative? Absolutely.

    Best? No.

    I think this would work well as a supplementary portfolio but you still need a more to-the-point condensation of relevant information.

    For resumes I'd define best as "highest converting". If this is the best it'd be great to see some data.

    Very cool and creative. People need to stop getting butthurt on this site.

    Charming, but blinding after a rather short time.

    this was submitted & discussed already a couple of weeks ago. TL;DR nice showcase, no interactivity

    Repost, really? Are we reddit now?
