Criticis: Too much to read and too boring.

Solution:
1. Resume should not exceed more than a page.
2. Be clear to the point, we don’t want to read a novel.
3. State the benefits/improvements you provided to previous jobs.
4. Do your resume with the employer’s perspective in mind.

@Vatar. That's what happens when I don't think about what I'm writing. Yes, they are very different; it was just another "moron-ism". @Everyone. This was a piece of humor; however, after seeing the comments I have a serious question... » What SHOULD a Software Engineer’s Resume Look Like?

Unified Process (RUP), CMMI, other agile development

Are you saying that CMMI is agile? They are pretty much opposite ends of the spectrum.

@Everyone Questioning Authenticity. Unfortunately, this is not a contrived resume. It was handed to me via a friend of mine that was a manager of the particular bowling alley at the time. I change the proper nouns for identity security. I re-wrote the phone number in mspaint. Yeah, I guess I'm just an @$$hole; there's not really any grounds for my allegations.

@Jason Palmer,

OK, I don’t know if I’m right or you’re right. My statement is based on what I saw on ajaxian.com (or is it Ajaxian.com), and I quote:

“It’s “Ajax”, not “AJAX”, stupid”

Maybe I trust Ajaxian too much, but you can understand why: They are probably the authority on Ajax or AJAX.

What I can see is that he did the best that he could to build up his resume and maybe nobody helped him in making it. Evidently he spent a lot of time writing it.

Lesson.

Lets see, this resume has a lot of noise. We need to put in our resume the least possible information that identify our skills and our attitude towards the job and the people with whom we will be involved. Also it is always important for the employer to know briefly which goals do we have for the job and for our life.
