The Worst Software Developer Resumes

>be recruiter for mid-sized company >have to review applicants' resumes whenever we have an opening >company has an opening for an entry level software developer position >this type of position always seems to bring in the absolute worst resumes for some reason >one guy's resume has the entire job history portion empty, except for listing his current job as "cryptocurrency trading expert (self employed)" >one guy who dropped out of high school, and who's sole job experience is 2 months of burger king in 2019, wrote "proficient internet user" in the skills & qualifications section >one guy's job history is filled with nothing but the discord servers he moderated. he listed each one individually as if they were separate jobs >some old guy with a decade of experience as a welder says he is a qualified software developer because he "knows a thing or two about computers" >one guy listed his 3700 hours in team fortress 2 as a certification >there was a resume that was only a single line of text that said "i am a good person" >one resume was just a printed out picture of patrick bateman

A recruiter reviews absurd resumes for an entry-level software developer position. The applicants list cryptocurrency trading, Discord moderation, video game hours, vague computer knowledge, and even being a good person as qualifications, with one submitting a picture of Patrick Bateman. The joke exaggerates the low quality and bizarre self-presentation of applicants to make fun of entry-level hiring and internet culture.
