Many folks are updating their resumes at the moment and I wanted to share a tip.
My own resume had served me well over the years, but I went to update it and realized that not only was the content outdated, the CV-style format was outdated, dull, and too long.
I found a great two-column LaTeX template based on a Marissa Mayer resume and wanted to share it here. It's attractive, modern, easy to read, and lets you fit a lot of detail.
@kyle At our last, local, old curmudgeons meeting, I proposed that I should rewrite my resume to list the things I won't do (Anything Microsoft related, privacy invasive, police or military enhancing, etc.), but I figured the resume scanners would highlight these as reasons to contact me instead.
@kyle It's too bad you can't purge old resumes from the internet, because you'll still get cold called (and emailed) for old skills. The only escape is to change your name, phone, and email. :-D
@lwriemen I do think it makes sense to review a resume for skills you have that you no longer want to use professionally, and remove them. For instance, a number of years ago when reviewing my resume I purged all of my Solaris experience :)
