Arghrrr!! that #$%^D resume

Why is it? It always seems easier to have someone help us to put our resume together. Describing strengths strong clear words seem to allude us when we are left alone to write our resume. I wish we all would seek to help others out when it comes to describing how we work, what we desire and wish. The information is too close when we do it ourselves. We cannot see the forest, all the trees around us are poking us in the eye. What are those trees? Negative thoughts about how we perform our work, negative thoughts about whether we deserve job opportunities that would make us happy. We don't believe we are deserving of our Choices in our Life. Choices that make us happy. It is much easier to think that we will get be disappointed and that opportunity doesn't exist except in the movies. Then when it there is a negative outcome, we are prepared and the disappoint is expected. We are afraid to believe in what is possible and that we are deserve to have employment that makes us feel happy and fulfilled with the added plus that it pays the bills.

The next time you are preparing to update your resume, do it with a friend or barter with someone who knows you. Have them facilitate updating and changing your resume. You may see a little more of the "real" you. Your friend won't down play your wonderful attributes, your friend will look for the best way to describe what a wonderful addition you would be to a company. So, start now and schedule that shared exchange and make a "new choice" to live a life you are thrilled about in a job you are happy to wake up in the morning and embrace with a great big smile.
