Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also, the resume says that you were Marketing Director somewhere, and that you were CTO at a company with 2000 employees. Is that actually true? If not, why are you trying to imply it? That's the type of bullshit on a resume that's very easy to see through, and makes people lose trust immediately.

Yes, it is true, I handled the entire tech stack for a company with 2000+ insurance agents. I single-handedly did all the networking, pc troubleshooting, wordpress installs/design, sugarCRM integrations, ppc ads, seo, content writing, etc..

I personally wouldn't call that position CTO. I prefer to use the C-positions for people who manage others, i.e. who set out the vision and direction, not the ones actually performing all of the lower-level work.

But your opinion is, of course, yours. I would suggest being more specific on these jobs either way, so that people like me will not be scared off on their first read of the job titles.
