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 ββββββββββββββββββββ in Spring microservices, which is deployed in ββββββββββββββββββ used by ββββββββββ 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.
The way you get around it is discussing what is possible in person. You write a few bullets about your skills but not tied to the contracting. Donβt be specific, itβs not needed.
I donβt even put my military stuff on resumes anymore.
