So, I went on urban dictionary to look something up, and this was the front page. I feel incredibly seen...

@Feditext@fedi.software @feditips@mstdn.social sorry if this is a dumb question, but does that include CalKey?

@roadriverrail@signs.codes @taedryn@dice.camp They didn't use a 1/5 scale but labeled them "mastery", "fluent", "familiar", "dabbled", and something I don't remember for the lowest one...

@roadriverrail@signs.codes @taedryn@dice.camp But really, all but the top three shouldn't even be on a resume...

@taedryn@dice.camp @roadriverrail@signs.codes That's so interesting! Yah, I can see that argument, but as someone who actually understands coding, if someone listed all 5/5 I'd say "lmao, bullshit, into the round file with you."

@taedryn@dice.camp @roadriverrail@signs.codes I agree with Kit that I don't really care about the format that much. The bigger thing for me is how quickly can I find the things I care about. Skills, abilities, etc. There was one person that had a cool thing where they had like a progress bar next to each programming language/tool they know and how well they knew it. That's literally the only thing in any resume that has stood out to me. And, again to Kit's point, that would be impossible for a automated tool to process.

@taedryn@dice.camp @roadriverrail@signs.codes These days, I see a lot of the pdfs that LinkedIn generates. In fact, for now, that's what I'm sending out. I'm also shopping around for a resume writer myself. It seems to be around $800, and a friend of mine has recommended that.
