I should get him to the post his joke resume. It's not even just one page, it's two lines on one page.

My joke resume that I made a month ago: http://cmdrtaco.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Joke-Resume.p...

This is gold. Remove the references line, and you're hired instantly.

Rob -- you're like Superman. Could Superman have a resume? Seems like you'd just give them a card that said "I'm f*cking CmdrTaco, damnit!" (The reference here is to a famous fake letter said to be from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs http://www.exophrine.com/2011/06/sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-... ) Seriously, it brings up a good point. If you have lots of name recognition, what's the best way to look for work? I'd sugges…

At the same time though, having your resumé sit at the top of Hacker News for a few hours simply because you decided to write a new one has got to be good, regardless of what's even on it. Think of each upvote as a personal recommendation.

It's to weed out employers that have to ask for references!

You're confusing me Rob. You want to be someone's employee, follow someone else's vision, get a regular paycheck, dental plan yada yada - and yet you want to change the world. Again. It's definitely possible to do, but not as likely, and resumes are a bit played out, esp. for someone with your credentials. Yep. Totally confused.

That's a bit bleak. In corporations, you work for someone; in places like start-ups, you stand a good chance of working with someone. You don't need to be the founder to get into that position, but it's obviously an option.

Rob doesn't need to parade around a resume to get in a startup. The boy is prequalified.
