Japanese Translation by Yasushi Aoki
Unauthorized Chinese translation, I think.
"I might split "founded company" into two things: "founded company that produced useful product" "
What if he founded a company and it failed??? Isn't it important to have someone who knows how to deal with failure or projects being shut down? A developer with real experience has shut down projects by management or C-level executives. It happens all the time, and some can't handle it, some programmers take it personal, and never get over it.
Also: written papers/spoken at geek conference (+) and written papers/spoken at marketing conference (-).
you discard points for being a speaker at a marketing conference? What's your problem? A programmer who has solid business and marketing knowledge, is a potential CTO at any company. I'd be beyond impress if a read a developer's resume and it says that he has spoken at a Business/Marketing companies. It only shows me that he has other interests other than developer, and it's not going to be a code monkey. That probably has a career mindset, and not a job mindset, and that matter a lot.
I just can't believe the stupidity in those comments above.
If they hand-rolled their own blog software, that's different, but that's not a "personal web page." Otherwise, that would be -4 for me, not +4.
Full-time job at Google: +9
Full-time job at Microsoft: -1
Also, Microsoft-only, C# ASP.Net are -10.
Resume more than 1 page: -10.
Sending resume in Word (or anything besides HTML/text/PDF): -5
...using tabs incorrectly in Word: -5 more
The point about certifications is dead-on.
"Lists visual basic experience first" -> MS Lover?
"Resume uses combination of tabs and spaces to indent sections" -> No idea 'bout indentation
Found a company below participating in a programming contest? I guess startups are a dime a dozen out in Cali, but that's quite silly.
I might split "founded company" into two things: "founded company that produced useful product" with some positive value and "briefly had [lastname] and Assoc. consulting gig because previous employer couldn't find anyone to maintain code" with some negative value. Maybe that's too wordy.
Also: written papers/spoken at geek conference (+) and written papers/spoken at marketing conference (-).
Also, one of your old comics, on how to avoid people bugging you with questions, reminded me of my old cubicle. Good times.
Candidate wrote an OS for fun, but inconsistently uses tabs/spaces. Hence, unreadable code base will net them a zero!
