Thanks

I don’t know how it managed to stay under the radar for so long, but I’m so glad it did. I needed that grace period to make sure it can deal with the load.

Hi Assaf,

Thanks for your comment – I absolutely agree with you, startups are my focus. “Companies that have HR departments, or businesses that think like companies that have HR department” and myself are quite incompatible

I’m not sure your target audience knows how to use BableFish to translate Humor into English. Or they’re just too lazy and reject applications in languages they don’t speak.

In my experience, if you break from the traditional cookie cutter resume, you will fare better with small, young startups looking for creative people. Not so with companies that have HR departments, or businesses that think like companies that have HR department.

My (ex) Gartner analyst prediction (0.1 probability)

Next time you go to a Chinese restaurant you will get a Fortune Cookie which says “Vaporware release 3.0″!
