# Career Archaeology Field Report

Thanks for running the experiment.

I'm trying to learn what happens when people other than Candidate Zero use Career Archaeology to excavate their experience, build a narrative résumé, and—if they're comfortable, put that résumé into the real world.

This is a **field report, not a testimonial**. Good results, bad results, weird results—I want all three.

It should take about **15 minutes, tops**.

## A quick privacy note

Please **do not send me your résumé**.

Please don't include confidential or proprietary company information, personal information you don't want me to see, or anything else you wouldn't be comfortable sharing.

I'm interested in what happened when you used the process—not your private career data.

## That's it.

Thank you.

I'm collecting several of these before making changes to the the process. The point isn't to react to every individual preference. It's to look for patterns: what consistently helps, what consistently gets in the way, what breaks, and what surprises us.
