Flocci Bento use case
A resume that reads like a product page
A bento resume presents you the way a product page presents software: a hero tile with your name and positioning, a donut or bar chart of skills, experience tiles sized by importance, and a device mockup of your best work. Designed in Flocci Bento and exported as a one-page 2x PDF, it stands out in stacks of Word templates.
- Design & frontend applications
- Freelance proposals
- Speaker bios
- Personal rebrands
Hierarchy is the whole trick
Recruiters skim top-left to bottom-right. A bento resume exploits that: your strongest asset gets the biggest tile. A frontend developer might give half the top row to a laptop mockup of their best interface; a data analyst might lead with a chart panel of real outcomes. Conventional sections (experience, education, contact) become right-rail tiles — present, but not fighting for attention.
When to use it (and when not to)
A visual resume shines where taste is part of the job — design, frontend, marketing, founding roles — and as a portfolio cover page. For ATS-scanned corporate pipelines, send the plain-text CV and attach the bento as the memorable second page. Export PDF for applications; PNG works as an email signature or profile banner.
Frequently asked questions
Will a visual resume pass ATS screening?
Exported images and designed PDFs are not ATS-friendly — pair the bento resume with a standard text CV and use the visual version where humans look first.
How do I show skills honestly?
Chart real, defensible things — years per stack, projects shipped per technology — rather than invented percentage bars. Editable chart data makes this straightforward.
Can I fit everything on one page?
That constraint is the feature: the 12-column grid forces prioritisation. Use version snapshots to keep role-specific variants of the same board.
What does it cost?
Nothing to design; founder credits cover the export. No card required.
