Can we talk about the underrated side of resume in real life

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. resume got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

I tried this in Seoul with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where interviews stopped feeling new.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. This pairs weirdly well with bibimbap.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. I noticed the same thing in Manila.
