The worst tool for job hunting...

I think CVs are a weird way to sum up a persons life. It like taking away everything but the bones of who they are."Here, have the skeleton of my rich life and personal history. You will learn nothing but bullet points. None of which are now relevant because I've moved on from them."

They're like streetlights on a foggy night, useless except for illuminating tiny parts of the road. Highlighting some things but showing you little of the overall journey. 

                          

It's an exercise in trying to shrink who you are to a sellable, buyable, appealing person that a stranger will then only spend on average of ten seconds reading about. It's all so efficient and concise.
