I Need To Update My Resume

After reading this post about intellectual honesty during job interviews, I think I need to make sure my resume is scrubbed of things I use to know, but wouldn’t dare to claim anymore. I used to do C, C++, and Mac development. I’d have a hard time answering any specific question on those topics anymore.

One thing that does bother me about this is that, depending on the interviewer and/or company, skill set can be the deciding factor in hiring. I may not be proficient in objective-C, but if someone hired my to do that work, I’m sure I would be a very productive member of the team. Where do I come up with the nerve to say this? Well, I have a track record of learning new technologies on the fly and ramping up quickly on new projects. My strength is not a deep understanding of a particular technology, but the ability to quickly understand a technology and apply it to the development of a product.
