Having a good resume helps professionals in getting their desired jobs. In a page or 2 one has to write lifetime summary and that too in the most productive looking way. A resume tells a lot about the personality of the person and it is one thing that can help job recruiters to differentiate people for hiring.
Entrepreneur and Investor Ankur Warikoo has shared a CV in which he has written all his failures. You must be thinking about the purpose of writing such CV, well he has done that to help other professionals to know where they lacked and how they can improve their career. Also, he believes that this CV will make people realize that problems and difficulties are similar but what makes successful people different is their reaction towards it.
He even wrote in a Linkedin post
I am extremely grateful to be where I am in life. But there were several moments when I wasn’t. It is so easy for us to take our failures seriously and consider them the end of the road. I am the biggest proof that self-doubt exists, and I am equally the best proof that one can overcome it – it’s just a battle that never stops.
