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My own resume had served me well over the years, but I went to update it and realized that not only was the content outdated, the CV-style format was outdated, dull, and too long.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.
@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 :)
