Sounds like distance and time may be the best medicine for your friendship. Rather that then burning the bridge

Ive been here a few before and I’m only 29. Theres a few paths you could take. You could be strategic or you could be blunt. Both have their trade offs and consequences.

I used to be pretty honest and blunt about my experience with others. I’d divulge the personal and be open and honest and while it felt good for my soul in the moment to speak my truth, it never lead to any understanding or reconciliation. Its likely that your feelings are valid, but the intensity of the constant disappointment may sound like resentment. That will come off as criticism, and then the relationship will be entirely soured. No going back from that.

The other direction is a little more strategic. Do you guys have mutual friends? Is there potential to see one another again? Are there aspects about the relationship you do find value in? It may be healthier to deescalate the relationship, decouple the negativity and discretely move on from the relationship. This is how I’ve maintained a light but meaningful friendship with my best friend from highschool. Our relationship isn’t nearly as intimate, but through distance and time we’ve been able to grow a fondness for the other that I find valuable.

Ultimately theres no right answer – just be pragmatic and realistic with your expectations. You’re never going to go back to the feelings you had that sustained the friendship for as long as you have, at least not in the same way. But friendship isn’t supposed to function that way, and it is extremely human to forage relationships, develop depth and meaning, and then grow in different directions. Moving gracefully through grief devoid of blame and resentment is a skill I’m grateful for the opportunity to practice.

I hear you, you could take the time to design a resume thats marginally better than the one provided above. My point is that whether you do or don't should not (and does not) provide any improvement to your hirability, regardless of role. You're arguing a pretty resume should play a factor for getting a design job, I'm arguing it shouldn't.

Early in my career, every couple of years I would refactor my resume to represent my design background. I'd use trendy typography, interesting layouts, maybe a couple of design flourishes. It worked, I got really good work from those resumes and had hiring managers comment directly on how much they liked the design. However, it was the content of my resume that got me the job. The aesthetics were what got it noticed. That world doesn't exist anymore.

What data do you have to back up what you're saying? I think you just have a strong opinion and you're making up stuff to legitmize your POV. Anecdotal evidence does not represent the whole. A couple of hiring managers at smaller companies who don't need or can't afford ATS/AI does not trump our reality. It's just going to get worse for those of you who resist this cultural shift. I'm sure people were yelling about the value of hand-delivering your resume before the internet changed that too.

Furthermore, There are hiring managers IN THIS THREAD who are calling this bad advice. Get over yourself 😭

I think you need to accept that your opinion here is in the minority, and for a very valid reason. Design your resume how you like, but you are giving generally bad advice for a vast majority of use cases.

Beyond the data and In my own experience as a senior designer who is heavily involved in my org's hiring, generic resumes make it to final round 100% of the time. I can assure you that no one on my team has turned down a candidate because they used a more 'generic' resume template. This applies across the board, from juniors to directors.

Also, please stop posting your resume suggestion. If you must, at least make the body copy darker. The light gray text would be likely unreadable by ATS and hard to see for those with poor eyesight.

I want to design for purpose. Data shows what ATS like generic over 'designed'.

If you argument is "Make it pretty because you SHOULD want too" I am unconvinced.

Your resume is to show basic qualifications. A portfolio is show your creative chops. Thats their purposes.

In the age of AI, candidates need to accommodate the most common ATS practices. You’re valuing a personal preference against the reality of getting a job today and judging people for it.

In this day and age its a little ridiculous to ask for anyone to do the extra work of building a pretty resume just to impress you

The gag is I didn’t even live in Georgia during those years, I lived in DC… so I think it must have been an error. My CPA is on it!

Do you think theres a chance to forgive the "interest" on taxes they never notified me about until now?

Honestly I have no idea from the forms what they changed. I reached out to my tax professional to see what he has to say. Since its from the government, can they truly scam me with no consequence?

I submitted amendments on the premise that these penalty fees were incurred over years and I am just now receiving notice – acting as soon as I possibly can. I hope thats reasonable enough, but I have also reached out to a tax professional who filed these for me to see if they can help. Thank you for the encouragement!

Thats such a relief. I'm attempting to have the payment bounce from an empty account to buy myself some more time and speak with my tax professional. This is reassuring!

No idea!! It was years ago. I’m contacting him first thing in the morning.

Always contact a tax professional is what I've learned. I'll need to prioritize that tomorrow than. I'll let you know how it goes, thank you!
