Resume, Really

I have been restless the last couple of days. On one hand, I have been enjoying my time off. On the other, I feel guilty not doing anything. Actually, I feel bad, because I have told myself several times to write the bloody thing, and not. It is one thing to enjoy myself, it is another to not be able to complete a task. And I realized why. I still am not sure what I did for the last several years and what that means about my personality. I feel like I failed, so what am I good at. This comes to the forefront of my mind whenever I start thinking about my resume.

So I dug out my TAP book, and filled in the exercises. I plan to eat, then drag the laptop, sans wireless card, to a coffeeshop. My deadline is Friday. I want to go out camping, but I am not allowed to unless I have a resume written.

A resume only really requires a list of things that you have done or accomplished and I think you have accomplished a great deal. So start with that on your resume. You don't have to write about where you think you failed here or there. Women typically pooh-pooh what they have done thinking anyone could do it. Now, sorting out what you WANT to do has never gone away for me. Good luck on that one.

You should have a great resume. Make sure you add volunteer work-like working for the Republican party and Bush's re-election-HA!!!! Remember.....the only time you fail is when you quit trying.
