Text Conversation with a Friend about His Resume
Him: sends his resume
Me:
>quick learner
>fast learner
>literally one line apart from each other
Me: we're gonna redo your resume later when I have time
Him: That's what I get for letting a fucking "resume expert" write my skill section.
Him: I'm worried if I don't get back to this guy quickly, he'll assume I'm not interested. I can redo the skill section tonight. If there's anything else wrong, let me know.
Him: Movie about to start
Me: it just looks like ass
Me: you don't even explicitly say you have an A+ and say when you passed both parts, you just had the logo at the bottok
Me: your degree and certs should be at the top
Sends friend my resume after he asks for a good template
Him: I'll remove the logo and move degree and certs to the top. I'll also fix the skills. All before bed tonight.
Him: You motherfucker. You said you had no objective section, but I see an About Me. Basically the same thing.
Me: objectives sounds dumb and has you talking about the job you want to do. About me shares some fun personal trivia then talks about what you do and like to do at work
Me: very different concepts
Me: if you don't have an about me, how the fuck will they know who you are? Just a fucking list of jobs you've been at. About me is where you try to show some humanity
Him: I wouldn't even know what to write.
Him: "I've worked a number of customer-facing jobs, and as of late, I've developed an interest in computers. I've spent the past [censored] months in a jobs training program so I could learn to be a Computer Technician."
Him: That's all I got
Me: Write about what your hobbies are then tie that into what you like to do
Me: Idk
Him: I love playing video games and messing around with the features on my desktop. If I get good enough, I can build my dream computer.
Him: Something about extroversion and wanting to help people. I'm tired
Him: I'll think of something in the morning. I hope he doesn't think I'm not interested just because I haven't sent anything yet.
Me: As a fan of internet meme culture, including pepe the frog and wojak the human, I love computers. I would love to learn more about the magical devices in your employment, my liege bro hoofs
Him: Ahahahaha
Him: Fuck you I almost want to use it. In a perfect world, I could.
Me: lol
