Below is both my standard professional resumé, as well as my failure resumé. I think I first learned about the idea of a “CV of failure” from an interview with Lauren Eskreis-Winkler, a psychologist at Northwestern, in an episode of
Hidden Brain. For me, it resonated because I’d spent way too much time the year before reading the insanely impressive profiles of current graduate students at the graduate programs I was interested in. So I made my failure resumé with the idea of adding a little human-ness to the millions of digital CVs out there.
