i mean, i get where dana was coming from but i think that kind of advice is exactly why people hate the job hunt so much. like, sure, hiding the screaming boss story gets you in the door, but then you sit in an interview and they ask why you left and you either have to lie or word-vomit the truth anyway. maybe it's just me, but i'd rather have a resume that's an honest starting point and let the interview fill in the gaps. i had a friend do the opposite once, put "saw a raccoon in the office fridge" on her resume and got a call back just because the hiring manager wanted to hear the story. i think people are more forgiving of honesty than recruiters give them credit for.

Funny you mention the editing trick because I noticed the same thing with those "perfectly folded fitted sheet" videos. They cut three times and suddenly the sheet is flat with hospital corners, but they never show the actual tucking motion in real time. It hit me that most of these channels are selling the fantasy of a clean, easy life, not teaching actual techniques. The real pattern is that effort has become this shameful thing in DIY content, like if it takes you more than five minutes, you're doing it wrong, when in reality everything worth doing takes practice and mess.
