📄 Did You Know? The Résumé Has Been Around for Over 500 Years
The first known résumé is credited to Leonardo da Vinci.
In 1482, Leonardo wrote a letter to the Duke of Milan outlining his skills, experience, and value — essentially pitching himself for a job. That letter is considered the earliest résumé in history.
💡 The lesson?
Job searching has always been about:
✔️ Clearly stating your skills
✔️ Showing how you add value
✔️ Aligning your experience with the role
The format has changed…
👉 The strategy has not.
If your résumé isn’t telling your story clearly, it may be time for an update.
