Life is grand

A CV tip

If you are applying for a programming job don’t explain what the acronyms in your CV stand for. Seriously, I feel belittled reading “I have experience in JSP (Java Server Pages) and ASP (Active Server Pages.)” If I don’t know what JSP or ASP stands for then applying for a job with me isn’t going to be such a good idea.

And get JavaScript right, please. It is not Javascript, Java Script or JAVAScript.

I think a lot of people do this (I see it here also) because in this day and age you just don't know if a real person will see your CV or not and it's generally good to have keywords in the CV that non-techy recruiters/hr people would look for.

Does get a bit annoying though.

Yeah! Get ECMAScript, right! Oh... You did know JavaScript is just a pet name for ECMAScript?
