I think the key word there is compulsory - I've lived in a couple of those places and it was pretty easy to get a drivers-license level of ID document without too much trouble (and without having a drivers license of my own).

I got that, but it was from the office firewall considering it to be a malicious site

Yep! I grew up in French-speaking Switzerland.

I experienced this a lot while growing up in a country with ~4 national languages - I spoke one of them well, but sadly only about 20% of the population speak it, so most websites will default to using the bigger national language (~70% pop) regardless of what your computer is set to.

It's really not that hard to find the language switcher on most websites, but it's still a bit annoying.

Ah that sounds rough! The contractors at my company aren't from agencies, they get paid more in place of getting company benefits. Didn't realise there were other kinds - Thanks for explaining!

Isn't that a call you make when you sign on as a contractor though? At least at my company, contractors make a boatload more money, with the provision that you don't get any of the normal benefits provided by the company.

Genuinely curious - what do you do?

It's awesome to see some more players in this space. I've been keenly watching out for Modern Meadow's updates as well. Looking forward to seeing what this will bring!

I'm curious about the magnetic mount. Doesn't that mean you can just walk up and take the camera?

EDIT: Apparently it has an anti-theft alarm, so your camera theft will also require bagging it I suppose.

The article and the title don't seem to match. This title is misleading.

I also second the reordering - You have lots of interesting experience, make it the most prominent thing there by putting it at the top!

The one thing I can recommend making your resume more visually appealing.

In its current state it's a very bare document and to me looks more like a bullet outline of a resume. This could mean you come off as not having put a lot of effort into making it. Obviously don't overdo it, but making it look like a professional document will give you a much better starting point. When I opened the link, I had to come back to the Ask HN post to see if you had stripped the styling from your resume.

You clearly have a wealth of experience in a number of fields, don't let the formatting let you down. Your resume is supposed to advertise you and make you sound appealing. I agree with tlb's suggestion to get rid of the 'limited work experience' footnote, it's not doing you any favours.
