CV of Failures

A CV of failures is everything a normal CV is not. The focus for a normal CV is to highlight the 'why' companies should hire you, mostly based on your successes. The CV of failure focuses on the opposite, what failures did you, as an individual, encounter throughout your career. This is not my own creation, but is inspired by Melanie Stefan (see: this article). I decided to add descriptions for certain failures in the form of a blog post, so when you are interested in my interpretation of the situation then click the link for that item.

A note from my side: There is, a lot of irony in a CV of Failures. In the end, it is still a list of 'acceptable' setbacks designed to show resilience. It does not create a complete picture and 'behavioural' failures, such as procrastination or forms of social anxiety, still remain invisible. However, considering this, I still think it is a good start towards normalising failures and showing that progress rarely is straightforward or linear.
