Laymens terms, a resume, but it stands for Curriculum Vitae. They are basically synonimous, just make a resume and send it with the answer to the riddle i guess =]

Too bad! im Italian and taking offense! Your insulting everybody! lol, not a great way to start making friends OwnD. Jk XP

I'm kinda surprised that no one has posted this link yet - Here's what Wikipedia has on the Slow Food movement - it's kinda the opposite of fast food.

Haha...slow food...get it?

EDIT: It says that very few people in the U.S. and even Europe know about it. How then do THEY know, and how do they expect US to know?

Well I'm sending in my real resume... if they are for real, at least I can try to get a six figure programing gig.

Or, they realize its a fake and give her a call... most awkward call EVER!

Anyways, here's mine, short but sweet...

Well I wasn't planning on emailing back, "Oh nevermind... I just solved the riddle and emailed it to you to see what would happen." hehe

By the way... we've got an interesting blend of fact and fiction going here. I looked into Slow Food, Alice Waters, and Carlo Petrini and they seem to be part of a real life anti fast food movement.

Now I'm thinking this may be an edutainment arg...

Learning is fun!

Honestly, I just read all the posts to catch up on this ARG, and I think the 'Emergen-C' might have just been a way to say 'emergency' and then the company logo on the back, so when we found the site we could connect the two. Sort of saying 'emergency at the holomove company'. I mean, they couldnt just tack the company logo onto the memos or crane without looking tacky, i think. I think the 'Emergen-C' is just there to put the company logo on, as well as let people know its an emergency.
This ARG has a very 'Angels and Demons' (the Da Vinci Code prequel) feel to it, for me, and I dont know why that is :-/ anyone else get feeling here?

Thanks Darren! I'll make sure to sound insulted that she'd even imply I would use Google to solve their riddle.

Google did hook me up with a nice example of CV Format though! Check it out if you need help on your fake resume

Not sure what you should do about the resume. Best of luck though!

annie.goldsteinSPLATholomove.com to me show details 9:53 AM (5 hours ago) Reply Hi there. The Executive Chef position requires at least nine years of experience. Erik Andersen admires the work of Alice Waters, Carlo Petrini and other leaders of the Slow Food movement. (This might be the only thing at Holomove that isn't in high gear). Your CV would have to include this kind of experience. You should also be aware that the position frequently requires long hours (both late night and on the weekends). Just curious...have you send us your resume? I've misplaced a previous email, I apologize. I haven't seen the top of my desk in weeks. In the meantime, if you'd like to see what life on the inside is like, one of our new hires has started a blog (complete with video). Here's the URL: http://codewtrn8.blogspot.com/ Again, nice work on the puzzle. You're in good company. Regards, Annie Goldstein Senior Recruiter. PS. BTW, could you tell me how you solved the puzzle, in a sentence or two? Once upon a time, Google used a puzzle for recruiting, and found that people were sharing answers. This, in part, is why we have so many recruitment puzzles. Can't be too careful. All due respect to Google, but we'd never have used just one puzzle. We try and be a little more thoughtful around here.

First of all I'm busted. I didn't personally solve the puzzle... I haven't ever lied when applying for a job, but perhaps now would be a good time to start.

Second... we've got some more names (I can't remember if we had them all before... sorry I'm kinda sick and operating through a cloud of meds).

Third I need to get cracking on my fake Curriculum Vitae. Should I take a chance and say I've worked with one of the leaders in Slow Food (btw what the heck is slow food? I should probably know since I've had over 9 years experience with it )?

Please help... just a lying, cheating, solution stealing, drugged noob here!
