Really wish I would have pushed constructive criticism onto my boyfriend when he showed me his resume 😬 He is extremely smart and great at his job and I think he’ll interview very well, but he’s using a non-standard format that isn’t super 15-second-review friendly. Before I could gather the courage to tell him it sucks, he already mass applied everywhere. He’s already in a bad headspace, and I’m concerned not hearing back is just gonna make it worse ☹️
