What we look for in a resume
I would actually not apply to this company.All of the advice sounds great, but not at all practical for some of the best engineers in I’ve met.>Regular contibutions to personal GitHub for a year,well too bad I work 15 hours a day in this tech company that has private git repos> open source contributions, or stackoverflow answersWell too bad that I don’t want to work opensource or use stack overflow (I don’t for work because we have our own internal one for years)> show measurable impactWell too bad, whatever impact I have in the corner of a 50000 employee company is probably not going to be enough for you.How about just checking I know what I put on the resume and being done with it, instead of expecting me to cure cancer for a job position that has me change colors of a button every few days?Edit: to be clear, I do agree with some of the things said like “look for a reason to say yes”. This is generally good advice outside of hiring. It brings new opportunities and when it goes wrong, lessons.
