Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t want you sharing salary information with your coworkers. I have read stories about how these documents & information can sometimes get leaked & shared on the web which is pretty sketch.
TIL about “functional résumés” which it appears are usually meant to cover up your lack of work experience, but I like the idea of covering up a lot of my specific history as it is the skills that should matter more, no? Do you give out all of your info?
For starters, don’t use é anytime you say resume. It may be correct but it gives the impression that you’re pretentious. Resumes are all about a first impression and what you can do.
Would be a good filter against those places that would actually get hung up on this
Just imagine: when we said we wanted “detail-oriented” & “technical” we didn’t mean in spelling—just everything else. Lol.
Maybe they are pretentious and applying to a pretentious inistute of prestige. Any resume without an é is immediately burnt in a fancy fireplace and the applicant is shunned from the pretentious society forever. Its possible, right?
