Here's how I review resumes. I'll scan the document for evidence of some kind of selectivity in terms of education and/or past employers. I ignore action phrases, GitHub accounts etc. If I see one that interests me I'll setup a phone call. It's a common misconception that we look for reasons to hire someone when in fact the opposite is true: we are looking for reasons to say 'no'.

Same here: I pretty much look at where they worked before and what they did there. If I think that fills the requirements then we'll have a chat. Anything other than that half a page of information is just noise.
