🗣️ Let’s talk about respect, experience, and the frustrating ritual of job negotiations.

I’ve been in the IT industry for over 23 years. So when a recruiter calls and immediately dives into a checklist of technologies asking,
“Have you worked with X?”
“What about Y?”
“Why isn’t Z on your resume?”
I can’t help but feel frustrated.

📄 Here’s the reality: If I listed every single technology, tool, or platform I’ve worked with over the past two decades, my CV would be 10 pages long — and no one would want to read it. A resume is meant to be a snapshot of relevant, recent, and focused experience. It’s not a timeline of everything I’ve ever touched.
