Yated Shidduch Forum 1/28/22: How Should I Write a Shidduch Resume?
Question:
My husband and I are trying to put together a shidduch résumé, but are not seeing eye-to-eye as to what should be included. I believe that a résumé should give basic points about the person in shidduchim and his/her immediate family. When I drafted the résumé, it ran about two-thirds of a page. My husband wants to include more information so that “people have more ways to find out about us.” He wants to include information about grandparents, aunts, uncles, affiliations, etc. His draft ran about two pages.
What information about the boy/girl, parents, siblings, grandparents, or aunts/uncles should and should not be written on a résumé? Is there a difference between a résumé for a boy and for a girl? Can a résumé be too long?
