Write a resume

I keep my professional/work resume current—one never knows.

But I’m especially proud of my personal resume of volunteerism and leadership in the faith community. This is the long one, too!! 5 years ago

It can’t really be that hard, right? It’s just such an annoyingly white piece of paper.

It used to be that I hated the idea of writing one because it felt like bragging.

Now I hate the idea of writing one because I don’t think I have anything worth putting on it. Does a skimpy resume equal a skimpy life? What exactly HAVE I been doing for the last four years? 5 years ago

it was a beautiful resume, and now i have it to build on forever. 5 years ago

Looks like this goal will be moving up the list, so to speak, as it seems that I’ll be needing a résumé very soon. I don’t mean in a good way, though, like I graduated, but more like there are no classes offered next semester that will count toward my major, so I’ll have to get a full-time job for a little while.

And I only need 8 more classes! Sometimes I feel like I’m going to be 60 before I ever get this stupid degree. Sigh. 5 years ago

I wrote a resume and it got me a job. Keep your resume to the point—let them “figure you out” on a page, and you don’t have to list every single thing you’ve ever done in your life. Achievements are nice. 5 years ago

one for each of my oldest sons. They’re both going to look for part-time jobs, so I got their resumes ready for them. 5 years ago

Technically, I’ve already written a resume. Several of them, in fact, but I’ve never written my own. I’ve helped lots of friends and family members with theirs, and sometimes these people get jobs, so that’s encouraging. I have a hard time to sum up my own experiences and accomplishments, it seems so much easier to write them for other people. This one will probably get put off for a little while, I’m not exactly in the market for resume-requiring work at the moment. 5 years ago
