My resume got a LOT shorter when I started omitting all the excrement technologies that I never, ever want to work with again. Also cuts down on calls from recruiters who beg me to move to Connecticut and write COBOL for $50/hour. 😅
The comic hilariously highlights the disconnect between perceived expertise and actual experience. The punchline lands perfectly: a resume that’s long enough to be a legal document, yet backed by only six months of work. Classic case of "fake it till you make it," but with a résumé that screams "I’ve optimized every buzzword possible." Maybe the real skill here is making six months of experience look like a decade—now that takes talent!
The more experience you have the more you can leave off your resume.

resume writing is so annoying when you find yourself filling out an application which essentially asks for your resume to be copied over. 🙄
