My boss just handed back my resume

WITH SO MANY CORRECTIONS.

I'm freaking out a little. But just a little, it's totally fine. I'm just embarrassed because I'm self-conscious about my writing. It's not bad, but I'm for some reason terrified of people thinking I'm stupid (I have a little bit of "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME" syndrome, very common in MA).

The corrections are good. She gave me a lot of good advice. I just know I'm going to cringing when I go through the whole thing.

Guhhhhh. Ok, get over it now. 

 

Re: My boss just handed back my resume

  • I think I would have had a temporary freak out as well.  But constructive criticism is good.  I feel the same way when I get a big term paper back with tons of red marks.  I know they are for my benefit but I almost don't want to look.

  • I'm super self-conscious of my writing, so I'd be freaking out too.  But, I'm sure the suggestions she made are really helpful...it's really nice of her to look over your resume!

  • I'm that way as well, but it's a good thing!  And it'll help you with getting a new job, too!
  • Don't feel bad! I'm sure quite a bit of it is subjective. . .

    This. I'm glad she was willing to help!

  • I get so nervous handing my resume to anyone.  I think they are going to go over it with a fine tooth comb.  I am sure the suggestions she made were only to help you.

  • At least it's your current boss helping you and not your future possible employer. I understand how self-conscious you are, but I'm sure you mostly got common corrections that many people get when they write their resume. Remember some of her corrections are most likely personal preference for a resume and not necessarily the required or "correct" way to present the info. I'm sure what you had written was great and it's just little tweeks being made.
