I did. I had a nice TeX or LaTeX hand-tuned one-pager. Yes, "C++" was a macro, to subdue those ridiculous huge '+' characters, there was no Computer Modern Roman, and I made countless other tweaks. But turned out that shitty ATS software was throwing away my resume, even though it rendered and text-extracted fine, and with normal PDF fonts (not rasterized, like some DVI convertors would do). Though, one time that the resume got me to an interview battery at a startup, it was a good conversation-starter with their designer, who could tell it was hand-crafted. Now, I just have a relatively phoned-in two-pager, with lots of search keywords, that I do in LibreOffice. To hopefully get me found by the right serendipitous sourcer/recruiter/manager/founder, and hopefully not have the resume discarded if they pop it into some shitty corporate hiring pipeline system. Nor mangled too badly, if they parse it, and have some people in the process looking only at their shitty parser's output in a Web page. I'd prefer making the most of one page, but sometimes idealism has to be flexible to the reality on the ground. |
