Not trying to be mean, but looking at the resume, I went straight to the 'projects' section.
Everything else can be so much hot air - but projects speak for themselves.
The first project promises an online development blog - but the link to the blog is dead, and google doesn't find it.
The second project claims he architected and implemented a full game engine. Having a quick play of the game (http://www.andrewhorner.com/sds/ ) reveals it doesn't really work.
It looks pretty, but it doesn't really do anything, its not playable, its not finished, even though the resume implies it is.
That doesn't look good.
The reverse job application was a great pitch to get people to look at your resume, but then you have to make sure they've got something to see. Its great to be able to get attention, but you need to capitalise on it when you do.
And if you are going to be unemployed for 2 years, at least get a finished project to put on your resume, that'd go down a lot better.
