I'm replying to my own comment, since I unfortunately do not appear to be able to reply to the one below... But... You do realise what "mechanical Turk" is...as in...the Amazon service called "mechanical Turk" based upon the chess playing automaton, and that it's basic premise is often westerners paying people from poorer countries, say...India, to spit out quick small pieces of work for them. There is no offense intended in these statements :/

I'm well aware of what mechanical turk is. Indeed, I've used it before. It's offensive to imply that people with 1-page resumes just had it generated via mechanical turk. I've spent hours perfecting my resume to have a good layout and clear copy so it could fit on 1 page. You really need to adjust your value system. Writing a short resume is harder than writing a longer one. In fact, I have a 4-page "master" resume which I pull from to build my 1-page version. > There is no offense intended in these statements :/ Of course there is. You don't call skilled professionals "kids" unless you're trying to be offensive. Don't play dumb.

There is no offense intended in these statements. One of the important lessons we learn in this life is that we're responsible for the offense we cause (or more specifically: the offense implicit in what we say), not the offense we intend.
