    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.

    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.

    To all developers here: have you noticed that there is literally no interesting blogs/ write-ups about software? It always bugged me. So much for “professional network” lol

    Pretty all technical conversation are on “python for dummies” level
