These are questions people ask
themselves all the time, and throughout their entire lives. These
questions have a direct affect on the way you walk, talk, dress,
laugh, cry, and most of all, work. People ask themselves all the
time whether or not they are working to the best of their capabilities.
Why do they ask this question? They ask this question because of
society. The constant struggle to get ahead, be better than, and
earn more money than the next person. These are all fine things
to wonder about, but what affect do they have on you as a person
in your daily life, one-third of which is spent working. One very
famous person once said “you have to work, so you might as
well like it”. I agree with this statement, but most people
do not like what they do in life for work. Why? I think its because
we are constantly reminded of our next door neighbor that just bought
a new, red sports car, or a good friend of ours that just bought
a new condo in vacationland. That’s our society-driven goal,
but it doesn’t cut any mustard me. It won’t make you
a happier person where it counts in life.
So……… You’re looking for
a new job. Think you need one of those fancy resumes that makes
you look like someone right out of a success story, like the absolute
perfect person for that particular position? WRONG!!!!
BE YOURSELF!! Everyone has his place in life. Everyone
has the opportunity to grow into a better person, handle more responsibility,
and get bigger and better jobs. BUT, please don’t try to do
it on paper until you’ve accomplished it. Don’t make
yourself look like something you are not. Be honest!! Be sincere!!
Present your statistics in the light in which you earned them!!
Most of all, don’t try to fool a company into interviewing
you for a position that may frustrate you and make you miserable.
It’s not worth it?
The purpose of this Guide is to provide you with
ways to put into words, who and what you are, in hopes that the
person reading this new document about you, will develop an understanding
of what you are and what you can offer to the company that person
represents. My plan is to help you create a resume that tells people
who and what you are, using plain words, presenting the best of
everything you can do and have done, because THAT’S WHO YOU
REALLY ARE!!
