Hello! My name is Hattie. I am a senior at Duke studying psychology and public policy. The anti-resume project started at Duke in 2021, but temporarily ended when the students that brought it to Duke graduated. For the past several months, I have been working with the project’s founders to get the anti-resume project back up and running at Duke!

The anti-resume project aims to normalize failures and celebrate successes that wouldn’t normally appear on a resume. As amazing as Duke is, it can often feel like there is immense pressure to get the best grades, jobs, and internships. It can be easy to feel isolated or feel like a failure when things don’t work out. I took over this project because I have dealt with a lot of imposter syndrome while at Duke, and anti-resume helps me reframe my mindset towards a more positive, qualitative way of thinking. Though I have failed in so many big and small ways in my time at Duke, I have also learned, grown, made amazing memories, and built wonderful friendships.

I am graduating in May, so I am looking to transition the project to someone who can take over long-term. I will be posting anti-resume submissions for the remainder of the semester until I find someone else to run the project. If you are interested in making an anti-resume, please fill out the form on our website (linked in our Instagram bio). I will format your anti-resume to match our website, then contact you to make sure you like how it looks before I post it. If you are an underclassmen interested in taking over the project, please reach out to me at 919-699-7673 or email dukeantiresume@gmail.com. Also, feel free to message if you have any questions!
