If people lack anything exciting or unique to put on a resume, it will go into the trash heap.
I’ve had resumes forwarded to me, and I can concur with the above poster, for instance: if they all say went to Shulamith, then to Stern for a BA in English, does bikur holim, etc. that gets boring and repetitive after a while. A resume ought to convey what makes a person unique. And let’s be honest: how many people at age 21 have really done anything yet with their lives?
A good friend of mine got engaged 2 months ago, and he was 37, his kallah 39. He has semikha, moonlights as a hazzan, and is an accomplished attorney. He was previously a congregational rabbi for a couple of years. The kallah has a PhD in History, has authored 3 books, and has been a tenured professor for a few years.
I’d prefer to finish my own medical training prior to going back into the realm of shiddukhim. I think a person should find themselves and identify their purpose in life prior to bringing another person into the mix. I learned this the hard way, through life exeprience, and I got burned along the way, but I am glad I learned that now. I don’t want to be settled down and married at 23. I want to achieve more in terms of education, learning, and parnassa prior to being bogged down by the constraints of married life.
And marriage is largely like a job in many ways. I’ve long ago abandoned any romantic notions of shiddukhim. If two people have comparable worldviews, envision their lives similarly enough, find each other physically attractive, and value the other person’s life experiences, then that ought to be good enough to make a shiddukh.
