2 psychological conditions that affect people when writing their own resume:
? Narcissistic Personality Disorder – Notice how people sometimes lie or use fluff to embellish their resume. Where they would pick one word over another word because it sounds better, and they end up adding details about their work experience that never actually happened. Not knowing where to draw the line
➡️This obviously leads to problems when one needs to justify their achievements during the interview.
? Tall Poppy Syndrome – Notice how people downplay their skills and accomplishments on paper, but, if one would talk to them, they would often share far more relevant, interesting, and impressive parts of their career, than they had put on their resumes. They just end up being humble on paper.
➡️This obviously leads to their resume not being shortlisted for the role they deserve.
