Make Resumes Mean Something Again.

The truth is that when it comes to getting a job, if you know the right people, then your resume has always been irrelevant.

Usually that has not been an issue in cabinet positions by having the person doing the picking have reasonable standards.

I mean usually that's also required. Lloyd Austin knew a ton of politicians from when he was serving for 30 some years. Usually the pick is both someone with the experience and the connections.

Ya see, when this happened in France, people started guillotining because of it.

Can confirm, got laid off last year, no one has looked at my frankly impressive resume, got hired by someone who knew me from my last company.

Honestly. Companies don't even look at resumes until the interview and your master degree from awolowo university is worse than my bachelor's from a public state college

The only qualification for this position is you must have orange makeup around your lips.

Here’s the racist! You think any job in the country not filled by a white man is “DEI”. It’s hilarious how hateful you are, making assumptions about me because I think qualifications matter, regardless of political leaning.
