People that don't know how to censor or write up teaser highlights of their career, is the easiest filter when going over resumes. So basically your article is stating your friends resume would go in my rejected pile.
- delinka 15y agoSo ... technical people who aren't copywriters or marketers get the boot early on. Good to know. I realize my comment is a bit harsh, but I learned two decades ago to stop tailoring my résumé to the obsessive desires of a recruiter or an HR manager or a particular interviewer. It's akin to me trying to constantly adapt my personality to everyone's quirks so that I'm liked or just to keep from pissing them off. This is who I am. Take it or leave it. If you can't find the technical goodies in my résumé, we're probably both better off if I'm working down the road with someone else.
- angryasian 15y agotechnical people aren't going to list firefox or ical as applications they are familiar with. Again, technical people are required to write documentation and at most write comments.. if they aren't able to highlight efforts in a resume, they are not likely to be good at writing documentation or comments.
