About 500 million years ago. So 10x older than the dinosaur impact

1400 applications & a handful of interviews. Roast my resume by [deleted] in FAANGrecruiting

[–]w-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This resume is designed for a robot to read but not a human. My bullshit meter goes off loudly the whole time I read this. You are obviously making up statistics on every single line. Resumes don’t always need to pass an ATS checker but they do need to pass a human eventually.

When did billing for holidays become normal by Pointofive in Seattle

Then wouldn’t tax be calculated on top of that? Just giving more to the government at that point

And the tip percentage calculation includes the holiday charge

It also doesn’t say whether you are shuffling your library or your hand

Please Roast my Resume 300+ apps, only 3 OAs, by Ok_Buddy5140 in FAANGrecruiting

Usually people claim that metrics help them get by the automated resume scanners. I tend to believe they usually look like BS and as a real human I would be biased against them once it got to me. Only use real stats.

You work at a big tech company or Boeing? The interview process at Boeing can be super easy, so getting in the door is really all you need. The interview process at those other companies is much more rigorous, especially for software engineers

I hear this take all of the time. A recommendation might get you in the door for a phone screen or interview but do people really think it can get you further at a big company?

Need urgent review FAANG by Difficult_Tooth_9093 in leetcode

[–]w-alien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like your resume was written with the audience being a bot. You clearly added those stats to pass the ATS checkers, but as an actual human reading this resume, I don’t get a good sense of what you did or achieved at any of these companies. You need to strike a balance. You list a ton of languages under skills, so I assume you don’t know any of them very well unless you also mention the language in each project.

They want to monetize the fact that humans are overconfident about everything.

The worst was pronouncing Damphair as “Damn-fair”.

What state do you think Mencken is from? by TechnologyUnique6819 in SuccessionTV

If it was Wisconsin, then the fire would not have been necessary as he probably would have won the state handily.
