Effort doesn't always equal outcome

I read once that it isn't always possible to tell, during the making of a film, that it's going to be dreadful.  Often, the pieces are there: good script, good actors, reasonable plot, but sometimes they just don't go together the way they should.

While you'd think you'd notice, in fact, it takes just as much work, passion and dedication to make an unintentional flop as it does to make a good film.

I'm having much the same experience with resume writing. Which is both humiliating and ironic given I'm a writer.
