Surely a resume aids as a reasonable first pass. Throw out all the people who clearly know nothing about computers. Sure, there's other, possibly better ways to do that, but it seems like a reasonable way to clear out most of the unsuitable applicants quickly.

- axod 16y agoIt probably depends on what you mean by 'resume'. A bit of paper that tells prospective employees about what hot shit you've done, with plenty links to the work seems useful. Just like a dating profile seems useful as a first pass. A formal resume which says what qualifications you got and what skills you think you have, I agree, isn't very useful at all.
