Discussion on: Should tech recruiters know how to read a URL?

A quick example. My last resume has a 1 instead of a zero somewhere. I even told the hiring manager. He said "that's ok". One of my other ones has "aide customers in..." where aid is misspelled. More often than not people overlook these small changes. Of course you need to keep track of them. :)

I get it! I have that on the link! It's already September, so my resume "version" should be for september but the link instead ended at august.pdf 😄

Thank you!

It's a very programmatic way of tracking changes... think in terms of a git diff. If the last handful of recruiters could check your resume into git and look at the diffs, they'd see the progress of changes.

But if they have difficulty with a link, are they really gonna collaborate and perform diffs on your resume?

Exactly! Awesome analogy, Fred!
