Resume hacking
Good developers might not need a resume, but I probably do. Here’s the current version.
I am not looking for a job at the moment (although not averse to finding a gig that I would really *enjoy* working on!), so this is a good time to take a critical look at the resume. The last time I solicited comments from readers was in 2003. It’s probably time for another overhaul. My job history may not have changed much, but there are parts that are much less relevant than five years ago. For example, I should probably remove ASP and VBScript. I did work with those, but that was back in 2000, and I have no intention of going back and taking up these “skills” again… so they’re really just dead weight.
Comments are welcome. Obviously I already know that I should trim the fat, but I would be very interested in any other tips.
Also, are sites like LinkedIn useful in any way? I’ve been avoiding such sites, but maybe I’m just stubborn.
