# News Network Resumes This Creative Online Resume Mimics the Homepage of CNN By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-resume References: [fanisnews](http://www.fanisnews.com/) & [newsfeed.time](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/20/this-guys-resume-looks-just-like-cnns-homepage/) In attempt to set himself apart and perhaps gain some publicity, the creator of this online resume expresses his career interests breaking news-style. Fanis Poulinakis, an aspiring TV director from New York, designed a website called Fanis News Network in hopes of attracting employers. The visuals of the online resume replicate the exact layout of [CNN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-sauce-store).com’s front page, but unlike the news publication, Fanis’s site is radical and maybe even hilarious. The bottom of the website-resume is copyrighted and states: “This website was made in August 2013 by Fanis Poulinakis in order for people to learn how to pronounce his name correctly (he is tired of ordering coffee by the name Alex). He is also in search for his dream job!!!” Original ideas like this one are a great publicity stunt, but how effective are they? Just recently, the Internet saw a similarly unconventional [Google resume](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-resume) that mimicked a search engine results page. It’s exciting to see which companies will scout these relatively high-profile resume creators. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Creative Online Resumes:** Creating unique online resumes that mimic popular websites can help individuals stand out in the job market. - **Unconventional Job Applications:** Innovative job applications that deviate from traditional formats can generate publicity and attract the attention of potential employers. - **High-profile Resume Creators:** The rise of online platforms showcasing highly creative and unconventional resumes is catching the attention of companies looking for unique talent. ### Where This Applies - **Recruitment:** Recruitment agencies and HR departments can explore new ways to modernize the application and hiring process by embracing creative online resumes. - **Digital Marketing:** Digital marketing agencies can assist job seekers in creating attention-grabbing online resumes that employ elements of disruptive innovation. - **Web Development:** Web development companies can offer specialized services to help individuals create customized online resumes that mimic the layout of popular websites. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza Box Resumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reszames.md) - [Professional Portfolio Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akenotex.md) - [No-Code Resume Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portfoliia.md) - [Pizza Box Resume Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resume-deliveries.md) - [Streamlined Resume-to-Portfolio Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urlmesite.md) - [Portfolio Builder Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapcv.md) - [Personalized AI Resumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-ai-resumes.md) - [AI-Powered Portfolio Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portflix-turns.md) - [Resume-Ranking AI Scoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cv-score.md)
