You make good arguments, of course, and I understand the general lazy approach to the resume. If you're going to do the lazy resume, just make sure it's fantastic. I read every single resume, I do a full review, and I give every applicant a fair chance. I've changed Office software, from Libre, Only, Office 365, just because a resume shows up mis-formatted. Furthermore, I've made text colour changes, high-light changes, checked links in multiple browsers, and even reached back out to get a new copy of the resume.

That is not common, the attention I give an applicant is rare, hell, maybe a one-off, but, I'll give you that respect because I really want to find a good quality candidate. When it comes to Java vs JavaScript, when I say they're a Java developer, I mean Java, not Java + JS, just Java. If I see JS, TS, etc... that's fine, I don't need to see Typescript under the Angular framework, I just need to see TypeScript, and actually just JavaScript because the switch is easy. JavaScript / TypeScript is terrible, but, it's the web, so you have to work in something generic enough it's supported everywhere, even if it sucks (and it does).

Being clear C# and GO are just nice to have, they help, but no one losses the chance because they don't have those skills. Really what we're looking for is a TypeScript / JavaScript developer, with real skill apparent from the resume. I said this somewhere else but the problem I run into a lot is seeing something like: Expert in AHTML, BHTML, CHTML, DHTML and XHTML. Then CSS, ACSS, BCSS, SCSS, and LESS. Continue that on for everything, and then in the interview, which is made from your resume, every applicant gets a customer interview, explain A vs B vs C, vs D vs X HTML. That always got followed, 100% of the time, with silence. I had one guy get mad and tell me I stacked interview against him, but he put DHTML and XHTML in his resume. He also had CSS, SCSS, SASS and LESS, but then couldn't answer a single question about them.

Now that over a long resume, broken into different areas, sure, but in 1 job, over 1 year, you used every technology including COBOL? I had one resume that said the guy increased productivity 1 000% every two days, in a product. I throught that was an error, asked for his resume again, and same statement, 1 000% every two days? I had others that were all over the map, and it's they don't make sense, you could be very educated in A, B, C, D, E, F, X HTML, sure, but you should be able to easily explain why in a resume: "Worked draft proposal for HTML specifications ranging from A - X", or "Developed frondend of software X, made sure compliant with HTML A - X, due to regulatory compliance order XXXX-1111".

If I got a plain text formatted resume, I'd smile! If you're not going to use PDF, just use TXT because using DOCX, actually throws in more problems for you. There is nothing wrong with a long resume, full of experience, and terms, but it should make sense, and it can be generic, but that doesn't mean it should be thrown together in a blender, full of broke URLs and broken English.

I'm in Ontario, Canada, it's depends on experience, you could be on the low end of the experience spectrum, but if your resume is professional, and you come off well, we'd take a look, and at that point 70k+ is nothing to sneeze at, for less experience. 120k+, it really is possible, and why not make it clear you're 140k? We have to list the range, and the range is just an entry, we're very flexible.

That alone should not determine the quality of an applicant, if it is, that's just sad, and frankly, most of the resumes I read are not worth 70k, they just aren't. I have no problem going to the owner and telling him to put up serious $$$, but to do that, I need to serious skill, and I'm just not seeing that. Since you posted, it hasn't improved, same quality over all.

Fair enough

I'm not being critical because people don't know Angular, I'm being critical that people seem functionally retarded. I'm not annoyed that one Java developer applied accidentally, I'm annoyed that 50% of the applications were from Java developers. Furthermore, I'm not annoyed that one GitHub link showed no work, I'm annoyed most of them showed nothing. The issue I'm getting at is that people are failing at basic, simple activities, how are you going to convince me you can write code, when you can't write a resume, or apply to the right job, or list the appropriate qualifications? How are so many people fluent in English, but demonstrate outright they aren't, and I'm not knocking people who don't know English, but why put it on the resume if it's not true?

What does this have to do with Computer Science? The standards of what Computer Science represents is essentially keyboard mashing explained by Alex Jones. When I got my Embedded Engineering degree, the number of tests I had to take, to gain qualification, and show I knew what I claimed to know, was insane. What do Computer Science grads have to show? I can't speak for every school, but the ones I know, nothing, they basically just get to graduate, but never have to prove competence, and that's caused the market to flood with unqualified people, all rushing to find work they're not qualified to do.

If you wonder why you keep seeing 1 or 2 years stints, and a jump, that's why, they can't fake it long enough, and so they move jobs, but now the jobs have dried up.

If I read that resume, I would write something like: "We need to talk to this guy!", and pass him up to a second round just so I could hear his story. He's either going to be qualified to a level that even the radar systems bow in respect, or, he's going to be crazy uncle racist tinfoil trump supporter.

That resume had the "Detail Oriented" statement in it, which always makes me laugh. It was also written in Microsoft Word, but encoded poorly, used a closed source font that I didn't have (and was a pain to get), and then didn't have the colour information correct for the fonts and highlights. That being said, I got everything working and still reviewed it, in MS Office Cloud, and on LibreOffice.

That doesn't make an absolute statement of quality, but we've never broken 5% as a pass rate. I understand that many companies use AI and screening software, but why does mean you can't write a resume? Why does that mean you can't make sure your links work? The resume is your chance to get someone to gain interest in you, so why not put effort into making it great?

I understand that schools teach / taught to throw everything at the wall approach to resume design, but that was stupid, wrong, and I've personally messaged schools and told them to stop. I drove to my former school to have a meeting with the career office, and show them productive vs useless resumes.

Sure, 5+ years experience, the current range on the ad is 70-120k / year, so an intermediate developer. I'm going to keep stating this, I review every single resume that shows up, without exception. There is no AI processing, there is no HR processing, I read each one, and give it a real review, before saying Yes or No, and I'm the one who will do your second or and third round, I'm one of the technical leads, and a co-founding developer of the company.

I understand that you can move from Java, Rust, Perl, to anything else, but there's no really no need to rely on that. If we were looking for a COBOL developer, we might have to settle for a Java person, and let them learn, but TypeScript / JavaScript? I'm actually not picky if you know Angular, I'd take React, Vue, Next, just show you have some experience.

The thing about the personal sites, and the portfolio sites, why include them, if you don't want me to look at them? I don't mandate them, for the reason you gave, often you can't show the work, and from the resume you don't need to. You only have to pique my interest, or have me finish reading and think: "Cool, let's have HR talk to them!".

Here are the hobbies listed on my current resume, which is a little outdated:

1. Enjoy working out, body-building, strongman
2. Enjoy product and project design, with several Open-Source products available. (no longer, I discontinued them a few years back)
3. Enjoy Freemasonry.
4. Run a personal blog to which I developed all backend, and front-end code, including the tools to manage, update and deploy it, which are available on it.
5. Run a furniture design hobby company.

I like the hobby sections, get me interested, keep me interested. What you don't need are 700 terms listed, every variant of HTML (DHTML, XHTML, AHTML, BHTML), CSS, SASS, LESS, SLESS, LCSS, because what's going to happen I'll invite you to an interview, and ask you to explain D vs X vs A vs B HTML, and then CSS, and you'll fail. I actually write the interview from the resume, so every person gets a tailored interview, based on their experience. You've done TypeScript, cool, list it and move on, maybe mention Angular, but honestly keep it short, trying to use excessive verbiage tells me, you're not qualified.

We're looking to hire a new developer, out of 169 resumes, 3 were good enough to warrant a first round, which is 1.77% or 1.8%. The last time we looked for a developer, out of 700 resumes, 25 were good enough to warrant a first round, that's 3.7%. People go into computer science / computer engineering, but lack skills ranging from basic literacy, through to fundamentals.

The job ad lists four languages, JavaScript, TypeScript, GO and C#. JS/TS are required because we work in Angular, GO and C# are only "Nice-to-Have", and I don't bother listing HTML / CSS because if you know JS/TS, you're good to go. That's a simple development language stack, you need to know JavaScript or TypeScript, and have used Angular, or a close enough framework, I'd honestly accept React.

At least 50% of the applicants were Java developers, not JavaScript, Java! At least 25% used the term / number method, where you include every term you've ever heard, or throw around numbers like 25%, 50%, 40+, in hopes to pass an AI scanner. 75% of the resumes were junk before I started, but I have a policy to read every single resume from every applicant. Out of the last 25%, or 43 resumes, 30 of them had serious spelling / grammar errors, and not "You used American English, not Canadian English", actual errors. A few misspelled "English", some of them had term names wrong, like Angueact, or Axure, and others had missing date ranges, bad formatting, bad colours, contrast issues, and so on.

Out of the resumes that include portfolio sites, or personal sites, most were broken, some had TLS errors, and except for two, they were hosted on a site builder. Out of the resumes which included GitHub / GitLab links, except for three, showed no work, were missing, or, were forks of other projects, and they didn't clean their fork up.

I could keep going, but the main issue I'm getting at is we had no bubble QA, and so many of the people who graduated, found work, and then got laid off, aren't worth hiring. It's difficult to fake skill, if your skill review is being done by someone who cares, and has knowledge to call you out. When you say you're "detailed oriented" (never put that in a resume), and then misspell "English", include a GitHub that is all forks, showing no work, include a personal site, you didn't make, and seemingly have used every technology that ever existed, while improving processes by 100 000% in two days, what do you expect to happen?

That's irrelevant, I don't have to reframe anything. What the global community needs to do is get behind Israel and work to wipe out Islamic terrorist groups, and the global community has made it apparent, they'll be Islams bitch. Why should Israel have acted like every other cowardice country, and when attacked by Islamic Terrorists, decided to get down on their knees and worship the terrorist? Israel did, and is doing the right thing, there are two sides to the war, those who are or support Islamic terrorism, and those who support freedom, that's it, you can't be on any other side.

There is no reframing needed, and hence Israel is and are international heros, and anyone who doesn't agree can shove their opinion and the Quran up their ass.

I just can't see them being this stupid, sure they've never been the neighbourhood house for safety, they're the white van driving around offering candy and puppies, but even this move is just too stupid for Microsoft.

I wonder what is setting the filter off, and I doubt it's intentional because if Microsoft got caught, it would be a disaster. Does any other Chromium-based browser have the same issue, or Chromium itself?

I think about customer experience, absolutely, but the excuse can't continue to be the customer is stupid. Let's assume all my Yubi Keys failed, and let's assume ProtonPass logged out, would I be screwed? No! I can still recover everything because I've setup everything to be recoverable. Hell, let's assume this computer died, and the NVMe disk was bricked. Let's assume my two servers in the house both died, the Black one and the Orange one. Let's assume all their disks failed, and I could not recover the data. I still wouldn't be screwed, even if the house burned down, I still wouldn't be screwed. That's the solution, just be accountable, not, meh, make it insecure because of customers.

You're absolutely right that most customers aren't ready for responsibility, but, the separation between where they are, and where they should be is like a 30-year-old using diapers because they're not potty-trained. If the tooling was bad, if the programs didn't exist, if everything required hours of detailed command line setup, with terrible documentation, fine, I'd grant the ignorance. The reality is, that the tooling is excellent, the programs are fantastic, and everything is simple to set up and use. There is no argument any more.
