Can we talk about how long it actually takes to fix a bad resume

I thought I could rewrite my resume in a weekend, but after getting feedback from three different people and reworking the whole thing, it took me almost three full weeks to get it right.

Honestly, the real time sink is unlearning bad advice. You spend days cramming in buzzwords and duties because some template told you to. Then you have to strip all that junk out to actually show what you did. That flip takes way longer than just writing it from scratch.

Worst part is when you start believing your own buzzwords... then you're stuck trying to explain what you even meant.

Yeah, that flip @elliot_barnes mentioned is where you lose a whole week.
