IT recruiter Tetyana Solovienko said that she received a developer candidate with 15 years of experience and a 39-page resume. This case is being hotly discussed in the community.
«Today I received a 39-page resume!!! It has everything: pictures, icons, labels, links, caps lock, underlines, highlighting… Oh my, so much effort and effort. Save your time and recruiters, please!» she wrote on LinkedIn. She said that she received such a large document from a candidate with 15 years of experience, who probably wanted to save time during the interview.
IT people are reacting violently to Tatyana’s post.
HRD & Lead Recruiter in IT Yulia Kayunko says that a document of this size is no longer a resume, it’s a sivishka. 2Resume is short (1-2 pages).
«But who among the candidates knows about this is a question,» she noted.
«This was probably done to make life even more fun for recruiters. Where else will you see this?», wrote Android Developer Nadiya Nikolayenko jokingly.
Business Analyst Eduard Petrov suggests: «Doesn’t this CV smell like a GPT chat? Like «here is my LinkedIn page, write down my work experience for SV in as much detail as possible.»
Front-end developer Dmytro Tymoshenko jokes: «Damn, we have to break the record, we have to write 40 pages.»
«It’s time to apply AI to such cases, let it search for what you need from the text, a good candidate for writing detailed project documentation,» advises Yuriy Yakhnytsia, Full Stack Developer.
«The person tried his best, he included his entire autobiography! Like for the creative approach. Alternatively, instead of a link to GitHub, you can post code examples,» noted Dmytro Yurchuk, Manual QA Engineer.
