On point — I was getting some resume feedback earlier this week and was given some advice on how my resume should be written and formatted to pass an initial ATS scan. This is all well and good, generally, but I have no formal education background in CS/SWE, which I imagine would immediately disqualify me from any workplace that filters applications in an automated way. If anything, I’d imagine that trying to have the same micro-optimized resume that follows basic online advice may actually be detrimental here. It’s tough as looking for a job is not super fun, so it’s tempting to try and find some magic bullet solution. I came to the conclusion that I’d rather try and present myself as honestly and effectively as I can and not take 99% of what I see regarding resumes to heart, and try and direct any interested people to my portfolio/work as soon as I can.
