"Resume" website... would love some feedback!
Hello to all,
It's coming to be about that time when I'm going to start applying for both jobs and graduate school. Instead of just having a standard resume for jobs, I was thinking of perhaps having something a little bit more interactive and informative.
In addition to mathematics, I am also a performing musician, with my primary instrument being the sitar. I have a good deal of recordings that I've made (jam sessions, shows, collaborations, etc.), and also some masterclasses that I've posted up on youtube. As well, I do competitive kickboxing and have competed in quite a few boxing matches with good results. Also, I do quite a bit of recreational mathematics, in the sense that I prove different theorems that I find interesting or that I find particularly challenging regarding some areas of mathematics that I've studied (for my own interest and skill building). Finally, I do a good bit of blogging about philosophy, music, mathematics, and boxing and I keep anything that I like, has spurred a good discussion, and that others have liked.
So, I was thinking about creating my own website where I post up music recordings that I've made, videos of my kickboxing matches, some proof writeups, and some blog articles. As well, I was also thinking of having another "Friends" section, where I'll post media (music, poetry, etc.) from any of my friends who'd like to have some material of theirs up on the web.
Finally, whenever I apply for a job / send my graduate school package to a school, I can just simply include a link to my website so anyone on the application committee interested in my resume can take a further look and see that I have more to offer than what's just on a piece of paper.
I know this won't be an easy project, but I see it as a labor of love. Would any of you have any advice that you can offer me / constructive criticism regarding this idea? How can I make this site both marketable and entertaining and still interesting for graduate schools to look at?
