I agree with that in principle. But...

Recruiters and hiring managers *are* hobgoblins with with little minds. 
And definitely not PEP8-complaint. :)

When I was out of work for two years (2009-10), underemployed for six 
months (working 20 hours per month), and filed for Chapter Seven 
bankruptcy in 2011, I  only had 20 job interviews during that time. That 
was a learning experience. I did everything possible to present myself 
and my resume as perfectly as possible. When I had another bout of 
unemployment that lasted eight months (2013-14), I had 60 job interviews 
and three job offers to pick from at the end. Of course, that was for IT 
support contracts. Maybe programming jobs will have fewer hobgoblins.

Thank you,

Chris R.
