Ever since they crammed us with resume formulas back in high school I knew they were little more than a waste of paper. If you’re comfortable with representing all you are worth and everything that makes you remarkable into a formulaic document then there’s not really that much that’s remarkable about you. The few times I’ve sat down to write a resume I felt completely inadequate.
How do you express your passions into a resume? How do you engage your prospective employer with brilliant storytelling? Most importantly, how can you show how genuine you are by following a formula? I, for one, cannot. How ridiculous is it that we still use a method that turns humans into facts to then try and find humanity in those facts. This needs to be changed.
