You are not your resume. You are your work.

You are not your résumé. You are your work.

If the game is designed for you to lose, don’t play that game. Play a different one.

“Two things were at work here. First, 37signals is a company dedicated to hiring only linchpins. They reject the traditional pump-and-dump approach to hiring, and they’re not indulging their egos by hiring people dumber than they are. Second, Jason is really good at what he does and he’s willing to stand up and be recognized for his work. You are not your résumé. You are your work.

If the game is designed for you to lose, don’t play that game. Play a different one."
