resume resumé

Don’t rely on that artsy-fartsy liberal arts humanities stuff.
Bullet points, life summary, bullet points.
What can you do for us?  What excites you about working for us?  What do you bring to the team?

It’s okay to be poetic—just be brief.  Read what you’ve written, then make it half as long.  Read it again, then cut.
Did I say it?  Don’t rely on that artsy-fartsy liberal arts humanities stuff.  (As much as you might love it!)
Get down to brass tacks.

Does this foolish venting leave you gasping for air?
