Several points are things that have nothing to do with writing a resume:
'Name Recognition' - You should have worked at FAANG or large companies.
'Short stints' - You should have worked for 1.5+ years at each job.
'Drive Initiatives/Impact is King' - You should be driving features and taking ownership.
Those all take years to cultivate and are things you would obviously add to a Resume if you could. I guess the point is to not add in any fluffy BS. The authors point seems to be that people who have impressive credentials are good candidates?
- jakey_bakey 3y agoThis is a pretty fair criticism, thank you. I did do my best on the re-drafts to try and ensure I was suggesting workarounds for the name recognition piece; but you're right that a lot of the points do boil down to "be very hireable".
- ericmcer 3y agoYeah no problem, I think every 'how to resume' article has a similar issue. I have tried writing before and it is a huge pain so props for putting this together and getting it out there. Your style is fun and your writing is clear.
- jakey_bakey 3y agoThank you so much for saying that :)
