Resume Ego

We're going to ignore resumes, b/c we've found they have little predictive power, mostly serve to feed ego of people doing resume review.

A long time ago, I had a manager who read way too much into resumes. When I was interviewing, he told me that he loved to start at the back of the resume and work forward to where the applicant was now. He wanted to make sure all jobs the applicant chose were congruous. Fucking prick.
