Interesting product, and would make for a creative and eye-catching page 2 to a resume, but on its own is just going to frustrate HR staff who want information in a standard and easily parseable format.
@dan_e_gray Sure, the main purpose is to catch attention (since only 6 seconds spent on each resume on average). Once you've been noticed, provide details in an easy way.
@ebarulin@dan_e_gray As someone who is a "charts and graphs" person, I appreciate this! Like Dan says, however, some people aren't. Can you combine both text and graphics on the page?
I probably tried every visual resume tool out there about a year ago, and at the time ResumUP was definitely the best-looking. They've released new resume templates since then, as well, so in addition to the original infographic resume shown here they also have a bunch of more conservative options and a few that really take advantage of the digital medium.
This was also, of the many infographic cv tools out there, the one that made it easiest to display a non-linear career path by creatively employing the pre-defined categories.
@rony_zgheib Nice. Could you send the PSD version to me as well? Thanks in advance.

Is Resumup still around? Is there any data that supports the assumption that recruiters prefer infographic?

Don't use this product, I just paid twice to them and they don't answer their emails, or tickets and you cannot download your resume. They also have very bad bugs in their resume builder.
Don't buy it, don't even look at it, terrible product!

@rolando_castanon Yeah I think they are belly up. I was a 149.00 life time member! LOL

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! I used them as a recommended source from a few blogs - purchased the $66 annual plan. Used it to create a resume and then cancelled my account a few months later. They are still pulling from my account and will not respond to any of my emails or support ticket through their help system hosted by Zendesk. This is now in the fraud department at my bank and I am seeking legal counsel.

@jenncop yeah it was a cool idea, but no longer. i used them once.... and I remember there weren't actually many options available, and what I ended up getting was a lot more normal than i expected, but i also didn't pay the extra premium price... i think i just paid a normal price.
however, this is totally par for the course in today's economy. People in free economies like the cheap labor of doing business with not-free entities, when, in fact, the two are like oil and water and simply cannot be mixed. Otherwise, you have international fraudsters exploiting our country at the root through increasing financing thru counterfeit money printing and control over media and tech and small business markets.
even if resumup's founder(s) were actually legitimate people originally, if there wasn't such a culture created around incentivizing the founders of failing businesses to pretend to stay in business just enough to collect money and nothing else as long as humanly possible, they might not have grown so deviant.
Nice looking. I agree with Dan Gray that this has some utility problems but as a version you hand to an interviewer or display on your personal website I can see how this could be useful.
@kelagha Thanks! We had some problems with initial import from LinkedIn but now it is fixed. You can use Import function to pull your data any time you like.
