Sean C.@autistics #ActuallyAutistic if someone you barely knows asks you for resume advice, and you see something on their resume you personally have an ethical issue about, but you do not know their leanings, do you say something?
Nonya Bidniss@filmfreak75 @autistics IMO it would depend on what kind of job they're trying to get. If it's a political job, a brand-related thing, or something else where particular leanings are crucial to the job, that would be expected. If it's not, then it might be best to make the resume more neutral and not reveal leanings.
@Nonya_Bidniss i guess my perspective is you do not know this person really, you are potentially giving them advice that could impact their potential hiring, and if their hiring goes sideways, you open yourself up to them holding you accountable
i was asked by a close friend what to do and i suggested being non-specific but as always he ignored my advice
in this dystopian world, i think he opened himself up to exposure unnecessarily

could you find a time to slip in some general tech tip like "anything political may lose half your audience?"
.
- nah, never mind, I'd be too scared

@punishmenthurts i suggested something slightly more neutral but this friend "assumes positive intent" and flat out said “This [Name of Group] is problematic.”

geez, I am not jealous. 😲
I might have to express my leanings by saying something like, "Yeah, I'm not going to be much help, I don't know that world or what they want," or something - but again, I'd sure be looking for a way out, FFS 💜

I mean, easy, AI answer is your resume shouldn't have problematic shit - but of coarse gaps are also not recommended, it's tough. If they're applying all around, they better make two resumes.

@punishmenthurts so friend followed up -- it went fine, but i still think there is potential exposure
then again, this is the featured quote in tomorrow's board newsletter:

It happens or it doesn’t.
No matter how much you want it to.
