    Thanks for the cool idea, and a great way to make your resume be an example of work abilities. Going to give it a go when I redo my site!

    However, I disagree that editing PDFs is hard. Open InDesign, make change, export.

    Heck, I think you can even export the text out of InDesign into HTML. Your PDF and webpage do have to sync, and you will still need a PDF (or gasp, .DOC) for those HR depts who don’t grok ye olde interwebs.

    @byaparentdesign Don’t forget step one: paying “700 dollars”:http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/buying-guide.html for inDesign. Not everyone can afford that and HTML is free.

    As many times in life, thought of this idea without other input, but once i got about halfway done, a friend showed me this link, so I thought I would include my interactive resume as well for others to view and allow for feedback.
