Biggest Resume Mistakes Ever
3. Get Real
What if you're trying to think about how you've helped build the big picture for your employer and you come up blank?
"A couple of times I've talked to people who insisted they just did their jobs and there's nothing special about them that jumps out," Milligan observes. "I've asked these folks point-blank, 'Are you really in the right position then?'" It's a difficult question to ask, according to this resume expert, but, she says, "These people may be chasing the wrong job."
She counsels clients that if they cannot speak about what they've done in terms of enhancing the position or the company, "You may be just punching a clock -- and you and your employer deserve more."
And it just got me thinking how much I love my job... eventhough it sucks at the moment. Eventhough I've a lot of complaints... I really really love my job right now. I doubt if I can find another job that would seriously make me as committed as I am to my job right now.
Today they said that our VP, James, said that our promotion (William and mine) were approved. And it will retroact to the day that we were recommended to be Managers. I told Ms Mel, if I do sign any papers anytime soon, I would really cry.
*Fingers crossed*
