Automate your resume, don't write it
You don’t need to write a resume.
Every time I sat down to update mine, something felt off.
Not “I don’t know what to write” off. More like — this process doesn’t make sense. I’m an engineer. I think in steps, I build systems, I debug things. But writing a resume? I was just rearranging bullet points, hoping the order would somehow matter.
No clear path. No way to verify the result. Just gut feeling and formatting choices. And don’t even get me started on templates — Awesome CV or minimalist? One column or two? Every choice feels arbitrary, and none of them change what you actually have to say.
It always bugged me. And it took me a while to figure out why.
