| I find these funny. Not helpful to anyone at all, but funny. Article says: "Sure, you might have implemented a new feature "in less than a month", but why did you start in the first place?" 90% of developers reply with: "Oh dear God, I don't make the decisions. As far as I know, some AE was golfing with some d-bag client/customer who, between jokes about breasts and baseball, mentioned 'Wouldn't it be cool if your product...' and now I've been told to make it happen." Article says: "Use all that freed-up real estate to describe how you made it better than anyone else could have." Self-aware developers reply with: "Well, actually, someone else probably could have done a better job. I'm good, but I'm not the guy giving talks and inventing technologies. That guy doesn't need to write a resume. That guy shows up in jeans and a t-shirt and walks away with an offer 3x my salary." Article says: "what was the impact of your work...in numbers?" 90% of developers reply with: "HAHAHAHAHAHA. You think we kept analytics??? Good one. That's a good one." Article says: "You resume should be devoid of personality." I reply with: "Please die in a fire." Article says: "Answer this: what kind of job are you looking for?" A confused developer replies with: "But still write my resume in exactly the same way whether I'm applying at a Fortune 100 company or a 5 person start-up?" It was at this point I stopped reading, so if there's more ridiculousness at the end, well, you have more patience than I do. |
