Comment Tired of these pedantic people (Score 1) 1010
I'm getting very tired of this kind of pedantic rants, like Joe's. Sure, perhaps he means well...
But let's face it: there is no such thing as the ideal resume. I have put extensive effort in trying to find out what an ideal resume should look like. Guess what, I've got the biggest list of conflicting requirements I have ever seen in my entire career as a developer.
The target audience out there simply does not agree on what it should look like. Some want only two pages, others hate it when they can't read the details.
I simply work with a very personal resume, personal in style and content - if they don't like it, I probably don't want to work there anyway. And trust me, there are people out there who hate it when you go creative.
