To all those job hunting... instead of a resume, write something like this.

Just in case: putting your value proposition on top of your resume, in very concise terms, helps. At least it worked for my resume [1], which employers and recruiters praise from time to time.[1]: https://dmitry.cheryasov.info/resume/

Why not "prioritize keeping your resume up to date and shiny" ?

Send it in your resume to annoy recruiters.

Ahahaha Maybe they did not read to that part. I think no one reads past your job experience so you may write just about everything down below and no one will bat an eye. I also recommend that use some tools to check your resume, there is whole bunch of them, https://resumecvwriter.com/free-resume-review for example

Looking pretty good and clean.I have noticed that writing the right skills on resumes are pretty hard, so I have built a service [1] to help job seekers identify missing skills from their resume.I tested my cv and found at least 10 missing skills that I have but forgot to mention.May be we can collaborate to help job seekers with the skills part?[1] https://www.toplineresumes.com

Can you share your (redacted) resume? So that people can actually review your resume?

tbrownaw Apr 29, 2025 View on HN

Doesn't this assume that a resume has no actual relation to reality?

Sound like a lot of places if you can't impress them with something on your resume. take it off or put in a caveat about you working with it minimally.

This is not your resume, you need to explain.
