RESUMES SUCK

Leonardo da Vinci is widely credited with writing the first resume in 14 82 - .Thanks Leonardo! Now we all have to do it.

Leonardo used a letter to introduce himself to a powerful patron, telling him all the great things he could do, and all about how the Duke should immediately pay him lots of cash for his amazing ideas. None of them were art. Most of them were inventions to protect fighting men and cool new instruments of war. Also a silver lyre. He did turn out to be pretty successful, though, wouldn't you agree? He was onto something alright.

Resumes can such - they can

• Suck time

• Can be torture to write – and read

• Can be jargon-weed jungles

• Can reduce your life to a shopping list

• Can actually say nothing about you

Which is weird because you’ve just spent five pages and a whole weekend doing just that

However, resumes can sing (with or without silver lyres). They can

• Be a great read

• Tell people who you are

• Speak about things you’re proud of doing and being

• Remind you that there really is only one you
