I created this video was created using XtraNormal.com as a replacement supplement to the normal, expected, humdrum resume and cover letter that people expect when they show up to your site as a creative professional. I wrote the script to do it’s job, but also to fish for a laugh or two. If a potential boss sits through this train wreck and actually chuckles, that’s the kind of person I would like to work with!
Also I figured hey, I don’t host my portfolio, blog or anything else on my website, just links to those things on sites that do them much better than I could ever hope to. Why reinvent the wheel with portfolio sites when there’s behance.net? I’m content to keep this Tumblr and a Twitter feed, I don’t need to make my own in Drupal. Just because I can doesn’t mean I should be expected to, right? I’ve managed to use my website to bridge together all of the most important social media outlets I’m a part of, so it was a natural progression to make my mini-resume in the same facet.
