Rule summary
- Be kind, be helpful, be constructive.: Be kind, be helpful, be constructive. Gooooo You!

- Anonymize personal information on your resume.: Anonymize personal information on your resume such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails
- Don't take resume advice as gospel.: There are no hard rules with resumes, and everyone has an opinion, you are advised to take any resume advice with a grain of salt. Or several.
- No advertising.: No postings for services, unsolicited links, or spam will be allowed
Works well

- A text post asking a general resume question, such as whether a two page resume is acceptable for a certain career stage.
- Replying helpfully to someone who shared their resume, giving specific constructive feedback without mentioning any product or service.

What r/Resume Is For
This is a community where people submit their resumes for anonymous feedback. General resume questions and discussions are welcomed as well. People come here to get honest reactions to their resume and to talk about resume topics in general.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called "No advertising" is the one that matters most for anyone doing marketing. It says no postings for services, unsolicited links, or spam will be allowed. The rule called "Upload resumes as an image file" also matters because it shapes how you can participate. The rule called "Anonymize personal information on your resume" matters too, since it tells you what must be removed before you share anything.
What To Post
If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing here, the only honest path is to participate as a person, not a promoter. You could share your own resume as an image with personal info removed and ask for feedback. You could also answer general resume questions in the discussion threads. Do not try to slip in a link to your product or service, because the community bans that outright.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that looks like a service post, a link drop, or spam. The "No advertising" rule is clear that no postings for services, unsolicited links, or spam will be allowed. Also avoid posting a resume that still has your real name, address, phone number, or email on it.
