A note for readers who might think this type of resume could help land a job in a traditional company (AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, and any other software company, large and small, who employs recruiters). Know your customer. Your customer is the recruiter. A typical recruiter spends less than a minute looking at a resume. Much less than a minute in some cases. This presentation makes it impossible for the reader to skim and get the salient point of why you might match the requirements of a particular position. The only reason a recruiter would actually read this type of resume is if you were a referral. Otherwise, the recruiter will skip to the next resume on their stack. |

Anyway, the reason I enjoyed this format is that I look at huge stacks of resumes on a regular basis, and most of them are completely soulless piles of keywords/buzzwords. Anything that breaks up the monotony and screams, "I am passionate about something" is going to stand out.
