while they are putting in foosball tables here at work - thank god, I'm sick of cornholio! - the bigger trend in IT is to talk about rockstars and passion and the social media profiles of your favorite coders, hackers, techies, geeks. That's what the managers think is important anyway....
When the IT Dir sent us his latest job wanted added for our thoughts, we were all like, "Uh, when we're looking, we like to be able to scan the ad for requirements, languages, skills, etc. so we can quickly figure out if the ad's worth our time."
I had to laugh since, of course, that's how hiring managers look at resumes. Of course, the people who ultimately hire you where I work are your team mates. The managers might be excited about a candidate but if the engineers aren't keen on her, it's a no go.
