Incredible Amazon Page Resumé

Jan 26. 2013

I have featured some special resumés here in the past, and I have to say that this one takes the cake. Philippe Dubost, a web product manager in Paris, created a fake Amazon product page to showcase his skillset and talents.

Frankly, they don't understand why we "young people" continue to...

Do you believe the financial crisis may not have happened if women had been in charge? Do you think that women need to take a more proactive and entrepreneurial role in this economy? After the financial crisis that put this country in it's current mess, I saw lots of speculation floating around that if women had been in charge of our financial institutions, this would never have happened. Interesting. Now women are being looked at as a possible fix for our unemployment woes. Women in tech is a recurring feature on my blog, mostly because I am...
