Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t want you sharing salary information with your coworkers. I have read stories about how these documents & information can sometimes get leaked & shared on the web which is pretty sketch.
TIL about “functional résumés” which it appears are usually meant to cover up your lack of work experience, but I like the idea of covering up a lot of my specific history as it is the skills that should matter more, no? Do you give out all of your info?
It’s good advice, but it depends on how you do it.
Since I wanted to show off my strengths in web dev and design, I’ve been working on my website for over two months hahaha.
Avoid my mistake and just pick some wordpress template if you want to do it in “a few hours”.
Yeah but does a WordPress template build to an 800kB distributable? Checkmate B)
Thats really funny though, Ive been doing about the same thing. Did you by chance also get yourself through one of those bootcamps? I feel burned by it honestly
