Well, the points mentioned in the article are valid in my opinion.
But I experienced in an interview something similar to what you described: I had a job in bioinformatics at a university. When applying a few years after that for a job in software industry, they insisted that my work experience started after leaving university - in their opinion after my bioinformatics job (not after my diploma). Of course, all my software development experience in software industry before that university job was invalidated according to their idea...
Well, that was just their (failed) approach to lower my salary requirements: "you are a junior, not a senior developer, you'll get less money!" I told them that I won't work for them.
I am sure that they complain that the government ought to change the immigration rules for non-EU citizens so that they can get foreign "qualified IT specialists" (at lowest rates, that's the point).

Quote: If your resume is more than two pages, you're doing it wrong. A good rule, Bock says, is that you can have one page of resume for every 10 years of work experience.
So if you've got more than 20 years of experience your resume will be wrong no matter what you do?

My resume is four pages; with the top page being ready to be torn-off. It contains all the buzzwords they're looking for, and then there's three pages with details on what I worked on. Lots of people threw away the other three pages - all they were interested in was "proof" that I had experience with the buzzwords listed on the first sheet.

Wow!
Keep it short, on message, well presented and don't lie.

There's a huge business in "teaching" people how to write such a thing.
Subsidized by the government of course, trying to get more people to do some work.

I'd expire after 53.54 cups. I drink half that amount. Does that mean half of me dies each day? Or does it just take me twice as long?

..and another website, cooked from the same template as thousand others, thinking that they are a slideshow that needs scrolling.
The size of the font says it all; we're an add, and there's no serious word in the landing page. They deal in "empowering" and stuff.

Great analysis. So true. They're going to do some huge new-new-new thing in security, but are too busy to explain it without buzz words on their website. What!?! <deploying interrobang>
