And will probably try that as well. I agree that removing any indicators of age helped a lot with getting interviews. This would also help with clueless agents contacting me about PHP or Perl jobs when it's been a very long time since I did either of those things.
- hga 12y agoAs I mentioned elsewhere in this subthread, my heading for this section is "Recent Relevant Experience". So I can leave out things like PHP or Perl if I've decided I never want to use them again. Or to indicate I'm a programmer who likes/is willing to do some system administration, but not indicate I'd take a pure sysadmin job. Or not cluttering it with no longer particularly relevant technologies. E.g. programming Windows at the Petzold level (although some discussions on HN have given the impression that right now that might be the way to go :-( ).
