I like the idea of a resume canary. Can you share the gist of it?

It was a random (and facetious and probably bad) idea to include a bullet point that would elicit a “wait, what?” response from anyone who would read it. My resume highlights, as an academic achievement, that a professor once suspected me of illegal research.

If someone brings it up, I’ll know they read through my resume. If they don’t bring it up, it may mean nothing. The former is a green flag, to me.

I’d suggest something more innocuous sounding, though. “Level 3 pencil twirler” or something that would elicit some conversation.

Or maybe something funnier? "level 6 laser lotus" or "Does all work on an Atari 600XL".

I use one that's to the effect of: migrated legacy Go project to Python2, increasing E2E service latency by 3409ms.

sounds like a good way to get rejected rather than for someone to want to pry deeper, when faced with a stack of resumes
