A “My Little Resume” in the style of My Little Pony, with some sections redacted.
Rough OCR:
This little pony went to in He graduated with highest honors and even received a departmental award for academic excellence! While at he cultivated an ongoing love for…
Computer Science & Mathematics!
For two years he worked as a tutor for the Computer Science department. He loves passing on his knowledge and getting everyone excited about computer science!
One summer he worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He developed an online tool for analyzing thermal neutron triple-axis spectrometry data. He even had his very own nuclear reactor to play with!
The next year he had an Extreme Blue internship with IBM. He worked with a team of interns at the Almaden Research Center to develop technology related to online shopping. But he’s not allowed to talk about it too much! (He signed a non-disclosure)
After graduation he galloped off to work as a radio DJ, and freelance web developer. He produces stunning, high quality websites for all the nice ponies hanging out in the
For a few months he dabbled in domestication, working for a startup in San Francisco called. He spearheaded major projects, infrastructure upgrades and code cleaning frenzies while ensuring that thousands of hardworking ponies got quality, catered lunches of grains, oats, and grasses every day! The daily plough just wasn’t for him though, so he threw off the bit and bridle and galloped back to He still does contract work for on other companies on occasion, and in the fall he’ll be heading off to a computer science Ph.D. program at the University of Washington!
The adventure is far from over… What will this little pony do next, who knows??

There are two types of people…
1.85 of the 2 people would hire them and 0.15 of the people would throw it in the trash
How would 0.15 person throw anything in the trash?
Doubt they can still move.
He’s currently president, show some respect
Is… is this a real resume? Did an adult make this on purpose?
Yes, I’ve seen this resume before.
I think it’s ironic. The guy is quite influential in his field, so he doesn’t really need a resume.
Ftr I would submit a resume similar to this in a heartbeat, completely seriously, if I thought I could get away with it.
Ironic?
I guess that’s as good an explanation as any.
I think if you can use a resume like this without any concern of hurting your prospects, that’s how you know you’ve found success.
I think we both know the answer
Is the answer “we live in a broken world and nothing matters”?
Kinda, but with a more positive spin than you may be putting on it.
Imagine getting all nihilistic about a pony cartoon
Yes I was 100% normal until I saw this, this is definitely what got me all nihilistic
Besides what others have mentioned, I’m pretty sure nothing on the resume matters anymore except hitting automatically checked keywords. I’ve seen some formatting nightmares get through the first levels of filtering, and nobody cares about the resume after that.
Im imagining an amazon listing as the title and body. Please give me an example of one of these nightmares.
It’s Joseph Redmon, creator of the YOLO object detection neural net architecture, which is very widely used.
I know that what’s censored on two of the ponies is probably logos of schools he attended or something and he doesn’t want that much identifying info out there, but I choose to believe what’s censored is clop content.
whats clop
You sweet summer child.
The term refers to My Little Pony porn. Or it can be used as a verb to refer to what someone who really likes MLP porn does while viewing MLP porn.
The term “clop” is used by bronies very similarly to how furries use the term “yiff”.
that makes sense, thanks
also i prefer winter :]
I’m sorry, it’s over, and you missed the wrap-up.
dammit
Plot twist, he is applying for the job of Creative Director at My Little Pony
That is the only time I see this abomination not getting instantly shredded. Nobody wants this on their desk, unless they put it in a folder for examples of what not to do.
Is work in an HR department so dull that you can’t even admire that little sillyness in your othewise probablyquite boring job?
I fear much of the fun will be lost in Applicant Tracking System’s translation to plain text :(
I have never met an HR person that appreciates silliness. Don’t think they exist.
This resume is far from a little silliness. It punched through silliness and came out the other side, making you question wtf the creator is thinking. Are they sabotaging their own job application intentionally? Are they so deep into the pony stuff that they think it’s normal?
Instantly fucking hired
Instantly hiring fbonk!
I’d interview you, mostly to see if you’re real.
He is. Just about anyone who works in computer vision based machine learning knows this man. He’s insane and I would hire him on the spot, but there’s no way a company I work for could afford what he’s worth.
People who don’t put their horse cock dimensions into their resume don’t deserve to have their CVs read.
Next!
vim
Checks out
There’s dozens of us! Dozens!
Guess which Linux distro he’s using?
I fucking love my neovim so much vim is so good
There are two kinds of resumes: This and the boring kind
… why does it censor the red pony’s… oh, it’s a butt logo. Okay. Somehow that makes this less weird.
This guy only uses PonyOS.
I fixed it but yes!
Fuck it, I’d hire them.
Straight into the trash.
