Reply to comment by SignificantView1671 in TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz

I bet he could’ve done just fine as a Cubist, had the idea ever been introduced to him
