I created this site as a demo of my data-visualisation skills for a job application. Any feedback much appreciated!

Flawless and clear presentation, instant results. Sorry, can't see anything wrong with it so can't offer constructive feedback. Maybe ditch the background? Seems so out of place.

Sadly it reminds me how badly I'm doing.

Thanks, very kind!

This reported my percentile versus my age group as in the 100th percentile. This is flattering, however, you can't score in the 100th percentile.

Other than that, this is a flawless execution in my opinion. Clear data representation and very intuitive to use.

I opted to put anything 'off the charts' as 100th - maybe I should make this clearer? Congratulations on the salary, though!

comm_it2• 14 years ago

Lol thanks, although it's not that really an 'off the charts' type of salary. I think making this clearer would be much more helpful :)

Edit: One more little snag: I encountered 'Percentile: 73th' - just need to change the suffix cases :)

To save HNers some time, I'd guess a lot of us will be in the 'software professional' occupation category.

Thanks, was looking for "programmer", "developer", "web developer". No go on all of them so I came back to the comments to see what everyone else had put!

I have the same opinion as many people in this thread:

The interface is clear, the results well presented, the process self-explaining. Great work.

As a criticism would be needed to balance all that positiveness, maybe the background is not up to the rest of the interface.

jackshepherd6• 14 years ago

Appreciate the feedback. I'd definitely like to work on the background. The wood texture is a bit of a cop out really.
