in reply to Resume advice for getting a Perl job

What?!?!?!

That is by no means obvious, or logical.

What is the purpose of a resume if the first thing a potential employer is going to do is turn to google?

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!

    Sarcasm, PodMaster?
    It may not be obvious, however, it certainly IS logical.
    Why, to ensure that you are not just "making it up".

      And, moreover, if you do have writings on perl on the web, they can see how much sense they make.

      No sarcasm here.

      If I list perl as skill on my resume, I'll most certainly list a url to my CPAN id, as well as my website, and any other url that hilights my perl knowledge (also known as my perl portfolio).

      Thats one way to ensure i'm not making it up, at least enough to get me a first interview.

      How the hell do you verify "independent, self-motivated worker" anyway?
