Describe Yourself in 600 Characters or Less
If it were just a "hey, how are ya" introduction it would have been fine, but a company in Japan I just applied to wanted my resume in 600 characters. Not words, characters. Letters. I managed to get the (insanely long, now that I look at it) name of my university, degree, titles of two jobs, and some info on my Japanese ability in there. Nothing on volunteering or any substantial details about my responsibilities. It's what they wanted so it's what they'll get, but I can't help but feel short changed.
FYI: This entire post, minus the title, has 598 characters. Imagine a resume here.Labels: Life, Random
