The more experience you have the more you can leave off your resume.
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!
6 months as an INTERN.
resume writing is so annoying when you find yourself filling out an application which essentially asks for your resume to be copied over. 🙄
TRUE
And people can see right through them.
how??? 😬
