Resume moved to Google Docs

I edit my resume from multiple locations sometimes, so it makes sense for me to have my resume on Google Docs. Not only did I move my resume to Google Docs, but I also chopped it up a lot. My work history was a mess. I had entirely too much text there. Some sections under work history were 30+ lines long, and I’ve shrunk them down to 3-5 lines. My skill list no longer uses a fancy table, it’s just a very direct list of skills.

If you haven’t seen my resume in a while, please check it out. The “Download resume” button that used to be on the right side of my blog has been removed. A “Resume” link has been added to the top menu bar, however. This will redirect you to the public view of my resume.

Added Work History to Resume

Well, my resume before was pretty empty and I thought it was time for an update. My old resume didn’t show any work history past January of 2009, however that is no longer the case. Two new companies have been added my work history:

  • Escalation Studios - This is currently where I work (as of this posting).
  • Red Sword Studios – An iPhone/iPad game development company that was formed in January of 2009 and I guess you could technically call me one of the “Founders”, although I no longer contribute work there.

So I haven’t been just sitting around for the past 17 months :)

Resume Updated

I’ve found over time that employers look at my resume and end up asking me questions that are clearly answered on it. My best guess for this is because employers really don’t want to have to read through my work history to get a grasp for what I’m capable of. To help solve this I’ve added a new section to my resume called “Experience Overview”, right under my skills list. This will give you a bullet-point list of things I’ve done and am more than capable of.

I recommend everyone give my resume another look. As always, I would appreciate any criticism and/or suggestions to improve my resume!

Welcome!

Hello everyone,

My name is Robert Dailey and I’m a C++ programmer in the video game industry. I currently live in Dallas, Texas. I just got my website up and running, although it still needs some work. I just wanted to have something basic for now. I uploaded my resume, which you can find under “Files” in the side panel. My resume is available on Google Docs. You can view it here.

Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back for more updates :)
