In other news, resumes are surprisingly easy to write, but surprisingly difficult to nitpick. I swear, my parents are worse than your average beta reader.
Parents: "It's great, honey!"
Me: "There must be something wrong with it."
Parents: "No, it's wonderful! Great job!"
Me: "No, please, I long to have it torn to shreds! I know there are problems; tell me what they are! My feelings will not be hurt. I want the burn. I desire the burn. I pine for the burn."
Parents: Do not want to hurt my feelings; do not deliver.
Which stinks, because as adults with eighty years of shared work experience between them, they know a whole lot more about this business than I do. By babying me, they are not helping my chances of attracting my potential employers' eyes.
That said, I think I did a pretty darn good job on a first time resume. It looks snappy. (It would look snappier if I could a) stop microsuck for divining what I must really have wanted to do with the formatting, and b) figure out how to draw horizontal strikethroughs.)
And what, you may ask, am I writing a resume for?
Well, that's a secret, but I hope to have good news soon.
That will be all.
PS: Thanks again to everyone who offered comfort last Friday. You guys rock!
