As an engineer I’ve resigned to making my resumes simple text files written in monospaced Menlo with manually wrapped columns at 80 characters. Very little adjectives are used, I stick straight to the facts.

People are stunned when they pick up my single page resume and see how simple and straight forward it is. In a time when so many people are making wacky embellishments and cover letters to stand out, here’s a page filled with dense information and a promise to not waste any time.



Okay, but does it actually get you through HR? I'm not writing a "fancy" resume because I like it; I wanna get hired.


Way more often than a fancy resume.


Could you share a link? Would like to see this
