“This is some kind of shit, namely — just painful.” Technical Lead shared the mistakes that occur in 80% of resumes

JavaScript Technical Lead Volodymyr Shaitan summarized the most common mistakes he has encountered in approximately 80% of resumes in recent months.

Volodymyr Shaitan constantly conducts interviews and reviews a bunch of resumes. He noticed that 80% of resumes, created on the advice of career consultants, have approximately the same mistakes. That’s about 60 resumes in recent months.

«I don’t use „quotes“ for nothing, those who follow me know that I constantly conduct interviews and help in every possible way those who need it. Well, lately I’ve been reviewing a lot of resumes and have seen a lot of resumes written by „specialists“, and it’s some kind of shit, namely — it’s just painful,» Volodymyr wrote on LinkedIn.

Here are the 4 most common mistakes pointed out by the Technical Lead

  1. Instead of the names of technical skills, there are their logos.
  2. Even Google cannot find contacts that make it impossible to find a person on social networks.
  3. Very saturated colors that simply tear out the eyes and make it impossible to focus on the information.
  4. Button links to pet projects that don’t work, and it’s impossible to copy the link because it simply doesn’t exist.

«This is simply 80% of the resumes I’ve seen recently. What’s important is the resumes that were made by career consultants. I specifically specified this, although there’s no need to specify, because usually people are so proud of it that they say it themselves. This is the conclusion from about 60 resumes that I’ve seen in recent months,» Volodymyr noted.

Technical Lead also added that this is not a hate speech against career consultants.

«This is hate from those who pretend to be normal specialists, but in fact dump people — not even for money, but for the time they will spend looking for a job.»
