What will happen in this event?

I will go through anonymized resumes i.e Name, contact details, Company name, etc blurred.

I will review them like a hiring manager - the way I have reviewed resumes for 10+ years when hiring for various roles.

I will share the first impressions that the resume gives about the candidate, will this be shortlisted for a given job - if yes, why, if no - why not?

Why should it be anonymized?

These resumes are real resumes of people. I want to help them by reviewing their resumes. I want to help all the viewers watching so that they can check if their resume has similar gaps.

But I respect their privacy and their willingness to improve.

For this reason, all the resumes, while real, will be anonymized.

Is it mandatory for me to submit my resume to attend the event?

No. You can view the event even if you have not submitted your resume.

What do I achieve by getting my resume roasted live, in front of random strangers?

Your resume is a document that is unique to you. It is not comparable to the work done by others. It should showcase the unique value that you bring to the table.

While there are recommended best practices to write about your work, a personal resume review if what will benefit you the most.

For this reason, I recommend you submit your resume for the roast.

It is anonymized so that strangers cannot reach you without your consent.

If you want private feedback on your resume, I provide 1:1 resume feedback services.
