The entire resume is a "claim" of what you did and what skills you have. They have interviews after the resume phase to go more in depth to the claims on your resume. Adding another page to the resume proves nothing.
I've worked on a lot of friend's resumes and never had a problem getting...
You left off the part where you are doing it as a condescending prick and I treated you as one. I merely treated you like you treated the other person. You reap what you sow. You don't deserve respect because you don't give it.
Your response was another bit of condescension trying to...
You still need to be competent, but the connection gets you in and an edge (known quantity > unknown quantity).
If you are still listing your college internship, you've either not had many positons since then and need it to take up space (unlikely), it's particularly "special" in your field...
Well, that confirms that you definitely don't use best practices. "That guy disagrees with me, so I'm going to throw a fit and leave!" Your basis, and only set of proof, for your argument is "This is the way I've always done it, therefore it's right."
You aren't the only one with experience...
Connections > All Else.
Having your friend as a recruiter at the company could have gotten you the interview if your resume were 200 pages long and filled with musings from your last trip to the bathroom.
Also, for some jobs, it is desirable to have multiple pages. The fact that your...
Good for you. Except that getting a 4 or 5 on your performance review means that 1) you are probably liked by your immediate manager 2) you give them what they wanted. It does not mean you are using best practices. Big difference.
It'll give a person a better shot at a company with...
Recruiters have a ton of positions to fill, they aren't spending extra time reading resumes. If you are incapable of telling the difference between relevant work experience and non-relevant experience, that's more than enough reason for them to put you in the rejected bucket 9 times out of 10...
Time in field != being good at it.
You can distill it to one page. You start cutting out the details from the further out jobs. They don't need to know every minor thing you did in a job you had 10 years ago, only the things relevant to the job you are applying for.
It depends on the type of people you play with. If people don't want to trade, then it gets to be excessively long and boring.
Part of the game is the half-swindling that goes on during trades. Assuming I have/am getting a monopoly, I go for their money to put them on the brink of mortgaging...
It doesn't matter if they get caught, they still think it's ok. They weren't raised to have a conscience or empathy, and they have no sense of social and community responsibility what-so-ever. They just flat out don't care about anything or anyone other than themselves.
