Sorry, I prefer a concise one page resume that tells me just enough that makes interested to want to learn more. Anyone can claim outcomes and metrics on a resume that can never be validated.



Right. We each have different candidate fit models. I think this article is well-written, but I think she should post this on her job listing as a note somewhere in the JD e.g. https://jobs.lever.co/claypot/9c6fedbf-3c91-4a48-98b9-467d00...

And it's good for people to post those things so you know what each group is looking for.


You don’t need to “validate” the outcomes and metrics on a resume. The usefulness of this content (or anything on a resume) is not in its utility as a test of character.


Who said it was? I'm just saying I don't need a bunch of useless fluff on a resume.


I like when people list outcomes and metrics. It gives me a starting point for something to ask questions about. Projects make for a lot better interview discussion topic than “skills: HTML, JavaScript, CSS […]”
