I once got a resume where the applicant was making a point about how badass he was with all his military experience doing super-secret scary classified shit.

Two pages, and almost all of it was redacted black blocks, followed by "CLASSIFIED." He had six or seven positions listed, with every detail - job duties, location, supervisor, even job title, all blacked out as "CLASSIFIED."

He got a little blackout-happy to the point he listed his own address as "CLASSIFIED." I think maybe he left where he'd been to college unredacted - maybe?

I kind of wanted to call him in for an interview just to see how hilariously terrible it would be, but I didn't have time to waste like that.

Some say he's out there still, trying to land a job with resume pages soaked through with black ink...

So fun fact, sanitized (unclass) resumes should have NO redactions. You need to clear your unclassified resume with your agency or branch's security office. Anyone claiming "can't elaborate classified" on a resume or redactions is lying.

Now there can be the misunderstanding that information pertaining to certain deployments can be viewed as sensitive. Such as where and when the deployment is GOING to take place. Some younger Joes mistake that with their deployment is some secret squirrel shit.
