Résumés
May 30, 2025
Résumés.
Kind of stupid.
Boiling an entire career —
a whole life —
into a couple pages?
Madness.
And yet...
As flawed as they are —
Résumés are the least bad tool we’ve got.
A condition of the game 🎯
Fine. Résumés are a thing.
We’ll play.
Here’s where it sometimes goes off the rails:
Getting someone else to write yours?
Feels productive.
Looks polished ✨
Scratches the “I’m doing something” itch ✅
And then?
You send it out for six months…
...and nothing 🕳️
Now let me say this —
I know some great résumé writers.
Smart, skilled, thoughtful pros I genuinely respect 🙏
This isn’t about them.
It’s about you.
Writing your own résumé isn’t admin.
It’s strategy.
It forces clarity 🧠
It sharpens your message.
It makes you face what matters.
Outsourcing that?
Is like outsourcing your voice.
It might look good —
and it won’t land 🎤
As Eisenhower said:
Plans are worthless — but planning is everything.
Same goes for résumés.
The final doc? Meh.
The real power is in what it makes you figure out 🧭
