I like the resume part the most. My resume never had more than 100 words (around 60 words would be my estimate) and I still got the jobs I wanted. Now that I am in a position when I occasionally read someone's resume I get 3 pages long resumes and it is the worst. I fall asleep at least once while going through them.

Yeah, I am with you.

My resume is currently a short opening paragraph, a few key technologies/skills and then the last three or four jobs I had with a couple of bullet points under each describing what my roles and responsibilities are.

It seems to be a very common mistake as an aspiring dev to cram as much info as you can, but you have to consider the weight of the info.
