Prepare to feel really inadequate about your chosen resume font. This dude has fashioned a custom QR code resume that is sure to break up the monotony of any HR person's day.

Made by Victor Petit — who was looking for an internship but recently scored one — this resume is reminiscent of band Cassius's video and accompanying app [iTunes link] for "I Love You So." It features a QR code in the middle of a picture of a face (on the back of a printed resume) that unlocks a video of the missing mouth on your phone.

"I realized during my previous job search that getting an interview at a communication agency is the hardest part of the process," says Petit. "I tried to create a CV that would enable me to express myself vocally as soon as they read the paper version. The combination of a sheet of paper and a QR code felt like the best way to reach that goal."

We're not sure what exactly Petit's skills are from the video alone — it has no sound — aside from being extremely awesome.
