'Good' is in the eye of the beholder and sometimes the psychology is not what you think it is. Sometimes content really is king. If you have a key skill that is in demand then you can have a very old CV, not updated for years, in some old text only format on some database somewhere, and still get the work with no problems. This I manage to do, with a CV that lists projects done with dates, but with no alphabet soup of skills, no mention of what I might do in my spare time and no fancy colours. Oh, and no Github either and certainly not on LinkedIn. Ultimately CVs end up in some database that is text only to all intents and purposes. The goal is to get the interview and if you are dealing with recruiters then they look for different things and probably only ever send a mangled text only version of your CV to the client. So there is reverse psychology in not being apparently available. Sometimes employers want the employee that is already spoken for and too busy working to have such a thing as an up to date CV.
