[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] A paper resume handwritten by Steve Jobs has become a hot topic in the auction market.

According to foreign media including the U.S. business media Entrepreneur on the 17th (local time), a handwritten resume by Apple founder Steve Jobs went up for auction.

The resume was written in 1973 when Steve Jobs was 18 years old, around the time he dropped out of Reed College in Oregon due to financial reasons. At that time, it is known that he went through a difficult period, auditing classes and sleeping on the floor of a friend's house.

Amid financial difficulties, Steve Jobs wrote the resume and checked "skilled in computers and output" under the 'skills' section, and wrote "good at electronic technology and digital design" in the 'specialty' field.

He also wrote "I don't have a phone" in the phone number section, and noted "I have a driver's license" but added, "I can drive myself, but I probably won't."

It is not known which company or position he applied for with this resume, or whether he eventually got the job.

However, it is reported that Steve Jobs joined Atari as a technician in 1974, where he met Steve Wozniak, who would later become co-founder of Apple.

The online auction site Charterfields stated, "Steve Jobs' resume, which was sold for $175,000 (about 200 million KRW) in 2018, has been put up for auction again," and said the auction will conclude on the 24th of next month.
