I've always tried to think of a way that people could include offers they got but didn't take on their resumes. Too often, people take jobs for the brand sparkle in the hopes that it'll up their employability in lieu of working on stuff they actually want. So if you ended up with an offer from Google or whatever but didn't take it, it might be cool to share that to still get the stamp-on-your-forehead effect.
P.S. I hate how things work.
- gohrt 10y agoWhat's the point? If you didn't take that job, presumably you got something better instead, and that's on your resume.
- leeny 10y agoBetter is, unfortunately, relative. A more interesting, fulfilling job for you might not have a strong enough brand to be a resume boost, whereas a job at a more visible company, while potentially less interesting, might be great social proof.
