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 ☹️

Care to share the 15-second-review friendly format you use?

If he doesn’t hear back, throw this out there before he mass applies round 2

I know, I’m waiting for him to come for advice before pushing it onto him too much. But I don’t think he’s even doing the obvious stuff like using keywords from the job description, which I think is going to get him passed by the bots identifying strong resumes.

What’s his look like? Why don’t you proactively switch formats to the better one and see if he’s receptive?

I might even ask a work friend to have a look at at and give him the feedback in a constructive way. No need to bring unnecessary conflict potential to life, this way you've helped him, you get the results but it won't tie into your personal affairs at all
