Exactly. If you’ve ever had to sift through CVs you know what is important and catches your eye. The rest can be established at interview or general conversation over coffee. (Those are the best interviews). I like to see easy to read, minimal waffle, bulleted points, and mainly focus on job titles and where they’ve worked before, alongside skillset. Of course, differs per job role and who is hiring (and their selection methods, I.e. cover letter, application form, written tests, presentations, references etc etc).

For dev work I’m more interested in their projects and their role on the project.

For designs, I only look at portfolios and role on each project. Resumes tell me absolutely nothing about designers.

Unless perhaps they design some crazy CV 🤣

…with comic sans at its core.
