Back to the Drawing Board: Resume Writing

Reason why some employees stay at companies for years and years is probably due to avoiding making a new resume. Think this is an understatement? In a room full of 100 employees, 80% will probably raise their hand about avoiding resume writing. I know I would be one of them.

What’s so bad about resume writing? I’ll tell you. It takes up quite a bit of time and it’s not copy and paste. Let me explain what time is spent on resume writing. First, the last resume you had that got you your last job may not hold up in current times. Because of this, a bit of research is in order: What are the hottest trends in resume keywords and styles? What kinds of information should go into my resume for the 30-second view? After these questions are answered, more research is in order to find out what occupations you want to work.

From the March 2011 Archive: Rango + Character Building

Rango + Character Building
[ Posted Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:14:35 ]

 

Rango was a good source for character building this year so far. It wasn’t just on screen but you could incorporate what Rango was going through in your own life.

Rango was a made-up name of the lizard because he didn’t really have an identity. He loved acting and portrayals, but never found his own personality. We can all relate to this at one point in our lives.

Eventually he found himself but not after dropping down to the lowest pits of self-hate you can possibly get. SPOILER -there even was a scene where he tried to end his life because he felt useless.

The key moment in the film that saved Rango, and thus my own self, was asking what you’re really made of. You don’t need to pretend to be someone else because you have what it takes already.

For a while I just wanted to be someone else. Just live a life other than the one I was living, but that doesn’t get you to where you want to go. That only helps you be more depressed. The time it took me to be all depressed could have been used to help someone. That’s what I’m doing now – volunteering to where I am needed. It feels good too since I haven’t volunteered in a while.

In any case, if you need a pick-me-up, Rango is the movie for you!
