BUILD YOUR OWN RESUME

Play Area

Setup

Before playing, shuffle all of the Job Cards and Qualification Cards.

Set all of the Job Cards on the table to the right of the play area. Place a large stack of Qualification Cards to

the left of the play area.

Choose one player to start the game as the Employer. Everyone else starts as an Applicant.

The Employer deals the Qualification Cards. The Applicants get 4 cards each. The Employer gets a number of

Qualification Cards equal to the number of Applicants. (For example, if there are 5 Applicants, the Employer

gets 5 cards.)

The Employer turns over 10 Qualification Cards, face up, in the center of the play area. The Employer reveals

the top Job Card and places it in front of them. This is the job the Applicants are applying for this round.

Everyone at the table (including the Employer) gets a couple minutes to switch out their cards with ones in the

play area. The Applicants are “building their resumes”, while the Employer is building a hand of cards as a

“question” for the players. (This will be explained later.) Everyone can switch out cards as many times as they

want, but they all do it all at the same time. After the interviews start, no one can switch their cards out again.

Playing the Game

Starting to the left of the Employer, each Applicant “interviews” by explaining why their qualifications make

them the best fit for the Job. Applicants reveal their Qualification Cards to the Employer, one at a time, and

describe how each one makes them qualified for the Job.

The Question

When the Applicant has finished their pitch, the Employer reveals a card from their hand that the Applicant

must justify or explain.

Winning the Round

After all Applicants have had a turn, the Employer chooses which Applicant they feel is the most qualified and

gives the Job Card to that Applicant.

After the job is given, discard all Qualification Cards used that round. The player to the left of the Employer

becomes the Employer for the next round. The 10 cards in the play area remain for the next round.

Winning the Game

For 3-6 players, the player with the most Job Cards after 2 rounds wins!

For 6 or more players, the player with the most Job Cards after 1 round wins!
