Is this… a reasonable take on LinkedIn? wow
They exist! Drowning in a sea of shit, there are nuggets of gold. Have fun digging for them though.
That’s okay, I’ll wait here for the occasional nugget to surface.
Right? Let others more willing to suffer than us do the diving, we’ll just skim their gains off the top.
LifeProTip: exploit the hard work of others for your own profit!
(That’s a joke)
I wrote my resume exclusively in second-person POV, to reel the recruiter in and set the scene for what it would be like to work with me (bad)
You pull up Mister Doctor’s resumé and scan the contents starting with the summary section. Mister Doctor has chosen to write his resumé in second-person perspective you note, hoping to impress you with a spark of originality. You hate it, he has failed.
I’ve read this is the Stanley Parable narrator’s voice, which I assume is the intent.
It is a bit demoralizing to spend thousands of hours mastering a professional skill, only to go on LinkedIn and see every other post is some recruiter proclaiming that if your resume doesn’t use their favorite font, it goes straight in the bin.
Sorry I didn’t major in “Deborah’s Resume Preferences” in college.
I am about to embark on the absolutely loathsome quest of quickfiring my resume out to 200 tech companies I’ve never heard of with names like Kuttrbox and OpenYum, hoping for a place in their squid games to win a ‘prestigious’ founding role at their startup, and I’m sincerely considering making an absolutely batshit version just to see what happens. Ideas welcomed.
Silicon Valley Quote
Richard: It says here on your resume that from 2010 to 2011 you “crushed it”?
Applicant: That’s actually an old resume. It should also read that I crushed it from 2013 to present.
Jared: So are we to understand that you did not “crush it” in 2012?
Applicant: There was a medical situation preventing me from crushing it to my usual standards. So I had to take some time off until I was able to crush it at 100%, at which point I resumed crushing it full-time.
Why am I reading this in a Khajiit voice.
Does he offer wares?
If you have coin
thank mr shubham 🎺
Linkedin gives me brain cancer; almost as much as that black mark in the photo.
I didn’t notice. Must’ve done that accidentally while cropping. Will update without mark
Spent a solid minute trying to find the black mark before I saw this reply
I only spent 10-15 seconds, but same. Now I’m very slightly angry.
Petitioning @[email protected] to re-release the black mark version to give us some closure.
Where’s Drag when you need drag? That post is for drag!
