I’ve posted previously on the topic of resumes, and how they
are like ass holes, everyone has an opinion:
This short post is a continuation of that conversation. To
recap, the conversation between fiance and hairdresser three weeks ago.
Hairdresser: I showed your fiancee’s resume to that rich
client I talked about. He said it disgusted him. The resume has a lot of
problems, and he can see why your fiancee doesn’t have a job.
Fiance: That’s pretty
harsh. I’ve looked at it, and I don’t see anything “disgusting.”
Hairdresser: But this guy is rich, so he knows what he’s
talking about. Obviously you should rewrite the resume.
(Since then, I have had two professional recruiters look at
the resume, and both have said it looks very professional, and had one or two changes
in a simple word choice, which I appreciated)
(cut to yesterday)
Hairdresser: I was in English class yesterday, and for some
reason I had your fiancee’s resume on my computer. My English teacher said it
was the worst resume he’d ever seen.
Fiance: That’s funny, since he’s been using that resume and
has had 12 job interviews in the last couple weeks. It’s working like
gangbusters.
Hairdresser: Oh really? I never said it was bad.
Really, I don't think class warfare would be all that bad.
