I had one electrical engineer who applied. She put pictures of her projects in her resume. I didn't know if they worked, but because there were a lot of projects with pictures, it immediately put her at the top.

She didn't have to give me any schematics or even explain how they worked.

95% of resumes were "I am a results-driven professional with 4 years experience. Please hire me. I will work for cheap."

That girl was a fresh graduate who showed more stuff in her college months than the "pros" did. She turned out to be the best engineer I ever had, even surpassing my own skill.
