What a crock of sh*t!! This is what happens when you pack HR departments with humanities and gender studies majors.
Personally I do not read any resumes, all the hiring I've done was either by referral or through online websites like angelList.
This is my process:
- Check your linkedIn, look at your experience and education. Catchy schools and companies is good BUT also that you are not a branch hopper (2 months there, 3 moths here etc)
- Check your github for samples of your code and your work ethic. (If you don't know proper git branch management you are no good to us). Opensource contributions are a major +++
- Check your StackOverflow to see how good a communicator you are (best engineers are the best teachers)
- Don't bother with social media .. unless I am looking for a good excuse not to hire you.
If you don't have any of the above, I will not even spend 10 seconds on you.
