I think this looks great, and can be used for way more than ust resumes. You could use this to document travels, or for history lessons involving different cities or countries, ... So many possibilities!

Hi Erin. Love this idea. I created something similar a couple years ago, which integrated with LinkedIn and geocoded the locations from LinkedIn to show points on the map along with job/education details pulled from LinkedIn shown similar to what you have on the right. I'd be happy to share the code if you're interested!
