    Tfw you can’t get another engineering job because your entire portfolio is classified

    I once got a “redacted” resume from someone who used to work in defense. Basically they just had a bunch of line items like

    • Developed back-end for ████████████████████ in Spring microservices, which is deployed in ██████████████████ used by ██████████ operations daily

    It got the point across about their skills and honestly they got an interview from it

      I used to work for a company that contracted out programmers to a defense contractor (Northrup Grumman). It honestly never even occurred to me to redact out the stuff I worked on when I put it in my resume. Nobody said anything about that when I left the company, even though I’d gotten a security clearance to work at NG in the first place. I wonder if your “redacted” person just did it themselves to create a sense of mystery.
