This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not just resumes either. I went through 2 interviews for a company, and then was suddenly ghosted after they'd collected the data they needed. They reached out to me, offering a position and when I told them how much I wanted for it (I didn't realize I'd told them less than they had it listed for, since I hadn't seen their job openings before being reached out to) they ghosted me and updated their job posting to match my desired pay

Similar thing happened to me. Got interviewed, told them my salary expectation, they turned me down and immediately published a new upper bound for the job's salary which just happened to be exactly 1000 € less per year than what I had asked for.

1000 is a bargain, I asked for $10.4k less than what they were offering and they ran with it
