One reason bringing your resume is a good idea is because scumbag recruiters sometimes modify your resume, inserting the right keywords to get you the interview in the first place.

- Bootvis 11y agoUnfortunately and apparently some recruiters have interns to convert those PDF's into their shitty doc-template. It happened to me a few times. Every time I had my CV ready and this seemed to help. Knowing LaTeX reflects very positively on you in some circles.

- datashovel 11y agoI try to avoid headhunters who think keywords matter (which, sadly, is most of them).
- Ricker 11y agoExactly, I find it's just ticking off every item that's mentioned in the job description. Using the exact same words works best.
