I found out about a great new site called Wordle where you can drop in any text and make a tag cloud. A bunch of people were trying out their resumes … here’s mine.

haha that’s awesome! now i’ll have to update my resume just to see it in the text cloud!
Jay
So I wonder why “wyble” shows up with such strength (I’d think your lastname might be there just twice).
But moreso I’m curious as to your impressions of this… based on this visualization of your CV do you think you’re accurately conveying who you are?

I just finished putting together my final manuscript for my MFA program, and this is what it looks like in a tag cloud: http://wordle.net/gallery/01273/final_manuscript
Can you guess I write a lot about the body, death, darkness, and sex?

Jay, my resume is still written in the consultant style from my days in Global Services … so it says “Mr. Wyble” a lot.
Mike, I kept looking for the word penis, but it wasn’t there.
Hey, “genitals” has a pretty prime spot! (I think there are only two pieces where there’s a penis mentioned by its Christian name.)
