>> resume never parses

Every time I rewrite my CV I always think, finally it's picture perfect. Next time I revisit it, because I'm looking for another job, I always think, who the F wrote this piece of crap.

I'm either slowly making progress or I'm running in circles.



I found a lot more success in the working world once I choose to just embrace the "normalcy" of certain things that routinely don't make sense in the working world, and to simply try to make what I can make work better.

The working world is really nonsensical and absurd if you ask me, but the end goal of doing a job for money that in turn allows me to do things that "make sense" to me is the payoff.

Self Sacrifice is sometimes necessary for success, but it is a finite resource, and can hurt or destroy you if not carefully applied (the simple equation)

A resume just needs to show the mountains you've climbed against the odds, without lamenting about the battle scars you got along the way... Resume formatting is really just fluff, that you don't need if they need you because you've proven that you can climb real mountains. :P
