Back to sales with a new resume, and gratitude! March 7, 2008
Posted by Niels in : Personal , trackbackI rewrote my resume today. I’ve had internships at NIST, ARL, ViaSat, Cray, and Philips, but none of them are particularly applicable to a sales job. My work at Pickup 101, however, has been great fodder as I rewrote my resume from a chronological job-based resume to a skills-oriented version.
I really enjoyed writing the copy for my own resume, which is strange because writing the copy for my public speaking website was absolutely miserable. I’m not sure why the website makes me so much more self-conscious. There’s an opportunity for introspection here.
In other news, after reading Paradox of Choice, I will be writing down five things each night that I am grateful for. I’ve already turned from a bit of a pessimist into a stalwart optimist; now I’m hoping to reduce my maximizing tendencies and become more of a satisfier.
First five:
- I don’t have Brandon’s flu
- I read really fast
- I have enough savings that I can take my time to look for a job
- I have a great relationship with my roommate
- I have friends who are excited about hanging out with me this weekend
