> As a hiring manager, I much prefer simpler resumes that are easy to scan. I don't really like the "five stars" self-rating stuff, however. It feels a little strange to distill one's language knowledge down to a number. I don't like it either, and it looks especially bad when coming from someone with little experience. Occasionally I see someone working as a junior developer and putting 4/5 stars in Ruby, 5/5 stars in CSS, 3/5 in JavaScript. I feel what these people mean is that they are most proficient in CSS, then in Ruby, then in JavaScript, not that they're experts in CSS, but this is not obvious.
