the day of the one page resume serving any purpose are over. If companies look at your resume at all, they are looking for information in raw data form: what projects you've worked on/completed, where you've worked, skills, etc. Otherwise they don't even bother. You might be asked to bring in a one page resume to a job interview but it's rarely used for anything but reference/quick glances.
The Idea:
Gravatar but for resumes. Raw data that you fill out online and can be updated as you work on projects. Companies (or you) can pull this data into usable formats or to fill out online forms.
Additionally it'd be cool if it had a "condensed" option that either you fill out with terse explanation for each project, or it ignores the descriptions of projects entirely and just shows the project name,date,and role. This would give interviewers something to glance down at for reference, but would save the functionality of the resume as a complete document of experiences.
Idk the idea that only our most recent projects (that can still fit on one sheet of paper) is the only relevant info is absurd to me; there is a lot to be learned from seeing the growth of a person over time.
To me the resume fails on every goal that it SHOULD accomplish except for maybe your ability to choose your best work, which i can see as important but there could even be a feature where you select the three works you are most proud of or something.
