Resumes are one of the worst inventions ever.
Not only do you have to look up what special keyboard keys are needed if you want to type the word resumé correctly (stupid accented é!) but there is also that tiny little detail of boiling down who you are as a professional and a person into one or two pages of formatted text.
Ugh.
Could we have come up with a worse system to try and fill a job?
Even online dating profiles are (just barely) better than this. At least there the goal is to sell yourself as a person.
With resumes, you aren’t supposed to include fun pictures of you and your dog, your likes and dislikes, or really much of anything personal.
