#resume

I landed a job at Goldman Sachs right out of college thanks to my résumé. My revamped résumé focused more on my mission as a person rather than my achievements. I think the best résumés and cover letters focus on a person's "why." More than a decade later, I've reviewed hundreds of résumés through my work as founder of Venture for Canada, a nonprofit that supports young entrepreneurs. The best résumés are not perfect. They are personal, show judgment, energy, and intent.

The impoverished value of new AI tools, such as resume polishing, raises questions about their relevance and efficacy in practical applications.
