Ask HN: What do you look for in resumes when recruiting?
I want to do a quick holiday side project and thought I&#x27;d make a online resume builder.(Yes, I know there are thousands already, but I want to build one that&#x27;s slightly different, and won&#x27;t harass you for your email before giving you your resume.)<p>What I want to know is what do you, person responsible for sifting through these things, want to see when going through resumes?<p>What format, how much information, what information... Things like that? What pisses you off about a resume, what makes you appreciate it?<p>I basically want to make a kickass resume-making service that both applicants and hiring managers would appreciate. There&#x27;s more secret sauce to my idea, of course, but I want to focus on the resumes first and foremost.
