    As a hiring manager, I see right through this bullshit, it has grown entirely too tedious at this point and it never goes past that initial review. Brevity and pointed accomplishments are so refreshingly rare, they get top billing. Consistently.

      These are the ones trying to be honest who don’t know what you want. The liars already know to keep it simple, just how you like it.

        Not giving my age or career away, but I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of interviews. If they snow me based on their resume, they are very unlikely to do so on their interview. I may be an outlier, but I don’t regret any of the hires I’ve made over the years as a result.

      You say that, yet most hiring managers won’t look at non embellished resumes as studies and even interviews have shown

      It’s good that you are more keen on genuine resumes- it saves effort and precious time on both ends- but unfortunately most aren’t

          I mean you won’t find me disagreeing with ya. It’s just how it is unfortunately.

          And as long as managers tend to be incompetent like that, you’ll unfortunately be swamped with embellished resumes.

          Your effort is much appreciated, but don’t get angry at the people making the resumes for being forced to play a messed up game that wastes their time.
