4 Simple Tools for Creating an Infographic Resume
This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. As a freelancer or job seeker, it is important to have a resume that stands out among the rest — one of the more visually pleasing options on the market today is the infographic resume. An infographic resume enables a job seeker to better visualize his or her career history, education and skills. Unfortunately, not everyone is a graphic designer, and whipping up a professional-looking infographic resume can be a difficult task for the technically unskilled job seeker. For those of us not talented in design, it can also be costly to hire an experienced designer to toil over a career-centric infographic. Luckily, a number of companies are picking up on this growing trend and building apps to enable the average job seeker to create a beautiful resume.
Data Visualization Platform, Weave, Now Open Source | Civic Commons
With more and more civic data becoming available and accessible, the challenge grows for policy makers and citizens to leverage that data for better decision-making. It is often difficult to understand context and perform analysis. “Weave” , however, helps.

We saw tremendous potential in the platform and have been helping open-source the software, advising on community engagement strategy and licensing. This week, we were excited to see the soft launch of the Weave 1.0 Beta, which went open-source on Wednesday, June 15.

Talking Points Memo used TimelineSetter to create a timeline featuring events in Wisconsin’s public-sector union struggle. Last week we announced [1] TimelineSetter, our new tool for creating beautiful interactive HTML timelines.

TimelineSetter’s documentation [3] explains exactly how to jump in and create your first timeline. You don’t have to be a programmer to use it, but do you do need to be comfortable using software from the command line. To go along with the open source release, we put together a demo timeline [5] which pulls live tweets from four news organizations and places them in separate series on a timeline.

It’s an often encountered situation, but one that can be a pain to address – merging data from two sources around a common column. Here’s a way of doing it in Google Refine… Here are a couple of example datasets to import into separate Google Refine projects if you want to play along, both courtesy of the Guardian data blog (pulled through the Google Spreadsheets to Yahoo pipes proxy mentioned here ): We can now merge data from the two projects by creating a new column from values an existing column within one project that are used to index into a similar column in the other project.

Every journalist needs to know about data. It is not just the preserve of the investigative journalist but can – and should – be used by reporters writing for local papers, magazines, the consumer and trade press and for online publications. Think about crime statistics, government spending, bin collections, hospital infections and missing kittens and tell me data journalism is not relevant to your title. If you think you need to be a hacker as well as a hack then you are wrong.

Until recently if you wanted to create a fast interactive map to use on your website you had two main options - design it in Flash, or use Google. With the prevalence of mobile devices, for many users Flash isn't an option, leaving Google and a few competitors (like Bing). But we are developing open source technologies in this space that provide viable alternatives for serving fast interactive maps online - ones that often give users more control over map design and the data displayed on it. TileMill, our open source map design studio , now provides interactivity in the latest head version on github .Les anthologies, frises, chronologies (timeline), c'est bien. Les illustrer en utilisant les outils disponibles sur le web, c'est (encore) mieux. La semaine passée, notre éminent confrère Marc Rees se fendait d’une petite anthologie de la notion, tant chérie par Nicolas Sarkozy, de “ l’Internet civilisé ” ( Avec l’Internet civilisé, l’UMP s’échine ). Las : à l’exception d’une photographie de fossiles préhistoriques, l’article se bornait à enfiler des dates, des noms, et des citations, en mode texte.
