Today's scientific question is: why are the resumes of programmers so uniformly awful? And how do we fix them?...
Tip #1: Nobody cares about you
Tip #2: Use Plain Text
Tip #3: Check, please!
Tip #4: Avoid Weasel Words
Tip #5: Avoid Wank Words
Tip #6: Don't be a Certified Loser
Tip #7: Don't say "expert" unless you really mean it
Tip #8: Don't tip your hand
Tip #9: Don't bore us to death
Tip #10: Don't be a lying scumbag
In fact, read the entire rant (at Stevey's link above) ... much valuable information direct from the guy who apparently put/left "Objective: Obtain a position at IBM" in his resume when first applying for a job at Amazon.com
