My 9-month experiment with resume in real life

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 6 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result.

Love the tiny experiment energy. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
