EDIT: unfortunately the site in question is no longer online.
When it comes to standing out in the job market, some people really know how to do it. We already talked about the student who had wrote his cover letter from tweets, here is now the CV of Tristan Bories which is presented in the form of a small old-school role-playing game (RPG).
This is how Tristan introduces himself:
A little troublemaker of the web, I learned my trade as a copywriter in an agency before writing on sites specializing in video games and cultural news. I then undertook the allbrary adventure as editorial manager. Reports, interviews, brand content, podcasts on YouTube, I was able to try my hand at a whole series of video formats in addition to continuing to sharpen my editorial style. As much an SEO specialist as a trend spotter, I successively wore the hats of creative in advertising then of field journalist with an editorial team to manage.
So, full of talent and above all imagination, Tristan created the game The Conceptor Editor to talk about himself, his career and his professional desires... in short, he created "the first CV entirely playable with a mouse".
Throughout its course, the game is full of references of all kinds (from Star Wars à Suits) that should speak to most thirty-somethings.
The game interactively lets you discover his various experiences, starting with his little job as a waiter which will allow you to unlock the "Teamwork" skill as well as his entire universe and the culture that surrounds him.
Fights, dialogues, choices to make… it has all the content of a real game!
To see his CV in a more classic format, you will have to go here, however, if you want to test his CV-game, it's here and you will need to have the Chrome browser.
In short, it's great!

Hello,
