Do we still recite "I am a little tea pot" in our resume?

Mostly all of us have recited the "I am a little teapot" poem once in our playschools. The poem was about a tea-pot who nicely talks about its characteristics - being short and stout ; its features - having a handle and a stout; usage instruction - the tea being ready once it gets steamed-up and starts to whistle. In addition it also talks about a unique feature ( which I think is a marketing gimmick ) saying the handle and spout can be changed.

Now what's all this doing on LinkedIn ??

Good question..

I don’t expect the teapot to talk about its achievements and accomplishments on top of its characteristics, features and general roles and responsibilities. It could have said how it generated revenue for the tea seller of around 10K OR how it saved cost by avoiding medical costs against burning hands due to its safe spout and handle OR how it could fill 5 cups in just few seconds.

I myself as a toddler would have hated such a complexity in the poem.

However unfortunately we recite the same poem in our resumes.

All we write about is our roles and responsibilities, our characteristics and our features. However there is no mention about our achievements and accomplishments anywhere in the resume..

We still act as the Short and Stout tea-pot..
