This is stupid. While we're teaching our children all about retail marketing they should be learning more cerebral ideas. My nieces and nephews are all enrolled in a Montessori school that is teaching nothing but a love and embrace of learning. That's the path to a better world, not empty retail craziness.

Not entirely sure why my honest criticism is suddenly suspect. I myself have dealt with recommending my siblings without disclosure and got reprimanded pretty severely for it. I don't actually have any relation or knowledge of either the OP or his brother. As for your accusation actually the only information I found was from looking at his resume. If that makes things suspect so be it. I just know from personal experience that HR people here are far more critical of some of these issues than other locales.

I agree in concept listing the reasons for leaving a startup however any HR person can tell you that it doesn't look good to put any concrete negatives on a resume. Doing so frequently indicates to hiring managers that there will be a likelihood of doing the same thing to them.

Nice design though obvious that no one ran it through spell check beforehand. There's also a bit too much personal trashing of other people for it to be considered a real resume. You also ought to disclose that it's your brother's resume not one you just think "the work was good" on since he specifically mentions you in it. That sort of attitude may work where you're from but isn't acceptable here. I hear that Yahoo is hiring...
