Now We Write Resumes Like Douchebags, Too
In 2014, it's not often enough to just do something: dogs must be tracked via Bluetooth, articles have to animate like kaleidoscopes, and a simple resume becomes a multimedia memoir.
Jenn Van Grove—who self-describes as a "reporter, web geek, vegan, obsessed Boo fan, CrossFit addict and UCLA grad" on Twitter—is looking for a job.

There are GIFs.
There's a link to two separate Pinterest boards.
There's an embedded Twitter photo of a motivational quote drawn on a chalkboard.
