At that time, I didn&#8217;t have any significant experience as a software engineer but I knew I wanted to do web development starting out. To help get more programming interviews lined up I wrote up my resume as a web page and posted it on this site. After multiples interviews with different companies I managed to find a job I was happy with.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_nter size-full wp-image-1494\" style=\"width:px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bateru.com\/about\/Larry_Resume.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"783\" src=\"http:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/resume_from_2011_resized.png\" alt=\"Image of my single page resume from 2011\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/resume_from_2011_resized.png 726w, https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/resume_from_2011_resized-278x300.png 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/a><br style=\"clear:both\" \/><span>Image of my single page resume from 2011<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p>My old resume is still live <a href=\"https:\/\/bateru.com\/about\/Larry_Resume.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<br \/>\n+ Simple design<br \/>\n+ It&#8217;s a 1 Page resume! Most candidates that I&#8217;ve interviewed have 7 page resume!<br \/>\n+ Only requires <a href=\"https:\/\/jquery.com\">jQuery<\/a> to run, though not needed<\/p>\n<p>Cons:<br \/>\n&#8211; Not much job experience to show<br \/>\n&#8211; Plain design.<br \/>\n&#8211; No colors! Just the standard black on white.<br \/>\n&#8211; Outdated tech. Used HTML 4 and CSS 2.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2018 and I primary use linkedin.com and indeed.com to host my resumes.<br \/>\nBut that changes today. I found a sickkkk resume template using twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/getbootstrap.com\/\">bootstrap 4<\/a> to make a modern resume page.<br \/>\nThe best part is that you can host your resume on github.com for FREE. (Unfortunately, this which requires some knowledge of basic web development and git.)<\/p>\n<p>You can checkout my new github resume below.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/larrybattle.github.io\/resume\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"418\" src=\"http:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/preview.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/preview.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/preview-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/preview-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bateru.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/preview-500x232.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pros:<br \/>\n+ Based off modern front-end technology using Twitter BootStrap 4<br \/>\n+ The resume template was a piece of cake to work with. Just modify 1 HTML file and upload your files.<br \/>\n+ I love the responsive design! It works on mobile AND desktops.<br \/>\n+ Animations + Icons + Images = Wow!<br \/>\n+ It&#8217;s free<\/p>\n<p>Cons:<br \/>\n&#8211; All the resume data is in a single HTML file.<br \/>\n&#8211; requires HTML knowledge to modify. Would be nice if there was an editor.<br \/>\n&#8211; The mobile view needs some work to look right.
