Every now and then I have some ideas. That’s also the main reason why I created a Windows Mobile application to support at least the storage of my ideas to be sure that those ideas don’t get lost. Some ideas will never be more than just an idea. One of my latest ideas was the below idea. I want to implement this idea, in the time I have (very little).

MYdea: MeXperience

I want application that can show my work experience in an interactive way. I was thinking tag-cloud, tiles, details, photo.

Yes a tag-cloud with the different technologies and roles that have been covered in the experience. If you would click on any item in the tag-cloud, it would be part of the filter. The filter would be applied to the experience.

I wanted to show blocks of experience, to offer a different experience than what people are used to in common curricula vitae. And when you click on a block, the details of the block would be shown.

Maybe more features would be appear in the future, but this is it for now.

Prototype

So what I did was, start with Sketch Flow. Sketch Flow is my favorite tool for prototyping and specially is very easy to use. Please look at below screens for the result.

What do you think about this prototype? Do you have ideas for features that should be included?

Alright, lets hope to find some time for discussing architecture and the basic setup, and probably even more to follow.

   my idea is a bit complex but i wont prefer tagclouds as they dont giv equal importance to evry tag…”DEPTH PROPERTy”
   heres my idea is to sort the work experience chronologically…and then make a trance type image…just as to make a “going in past kinda look” and also instead of filtering and displayiing it…like the above sketch flow…i woulad rather prefer a visualization of roles tht hv been played at work.
   For example consider,
   1St job - software engi.
   2nd job - software engi then desgniner
   3rd job - software architect and the chief of the project then something…

   so it would be in a way that…the last job will be depicted as a DOOR onclick it will…show the man from behind on a chair….with the man there will be sticky notes in his cabin which will have the roles payed…and then you can filter…after that you can place a second door for the second last job on the computer on which the man is working…

   thts my idea…i think its a bit more obscure and in convinient for an employer nut i would rateh do it without a tag cloud

   It’s a good idea, Mark. However I would like to see grouping by employer. Also I’d include an option where the customers name is only displayed to certain people, because of security reasons (if you ever worked for customers who make your job ‘classified’ this will come in handy).
