Bill Gates, one of the world's richest people, today shared his first resume to boost the confidence of millions of young job aspirants around the world. Taking his followers back in time, the 66-year-old shared his resume from 48 years ago. Addressing his followers, he said that he was sure that their resume looks better than his did.

"Whether you're a recent grad or a college dropout, I'm sure your resume looks a lot better than mine did 48 years ago," the billionaire philanthropist said.
