I find it ridiculous that an employer cares so much about standardized test scores from a decade ago. It seems like a gate keeping tactic against the under privileged. Kudos to the employers who have adjusted their requirements to not require college degrees or standardized test scores, specifically speaking to the tech industry.

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well.
