I agree with your assessment, but it is an interesting try at presenting the information, and the linked png did at least have template for a link to the plain text version.
Willingness to experiment and try new things is an asset for a developer. Inability to edit oneself, or to walk away from an experiment when it has clearly failed, is a dealbreaking liability.
Infographics ON a resume, good or mediocre: OK.

Seeing multiple comments of yours in here (all negative) I can't help but wonder if you have some kind of axe to grind with her?
Yes, her infographic isn't flawless. But it isn't bad either, it is in fact pretty damn good. And most certainly good enough to stand out in a pile of standard-resumes, which is about as much as it can possibly accomplish.
(a) I am definitely being very noisy on this thread. Sorry. I'm procrastinating.
(b) Instead of simply saying "you're wrong!", why not tell me some things you specifically like about this infographic as an infographic? I am seriously interested in what stories you think this graphic does a good job of telling.
For what it's worth, I reread my comments, reconciled them with the fact that I'm just here to kill time today, and zapped most of them. Thanks for calling me out for them.
It's bad infographic. It presents a lot of unnecessary info in had to parse way.
It stands out just because it is different. I quit considering being different just for the sake of being different to be a good thing long time ago.
To quote Jobs again, design is how it works. This was about how it looks. It looks OK, it works badly.
