I’m worth a looky-loo…

I’ve been applying for jobs in the KC area since March…know how many calls and emails I’ve gotten…NONE. Devastating to say the least. It’s hard for me to apply for a job. I know you shouldn’t take the no-callback/no-reply emails as a personal statement about how you just aren’t good enough but that’s how I take it. I only apply at places I can see myself working at and ultimately that are going to make me happy. If this Diva isn’t happy no one is happy. That being said…what’s a girl to do. I’ve reworked and reworded my resume to death over the last 5 months and have nothing to show for it. I’ve been literally emailing a Death Certificate instead of a resume. Then I decided late yesterday afternoon while cruising the job market on pyramid scheme Craigslist and CareerUnbuilder that I needed to do something to make my resume standout. And I don’t mean “Oh that’s a really great cover letter.” I say fuck the cover letter. Look at my resume. I am worth your time. I figured why not just put myself into the resume. Design something worth looking at. Show them right off that I didn’t just put some random words together in a misguided attempt to get a job. I don’t know if this idea will work. I don’t know what the reaction will be. But I do know one thing. I don’t want to work at a place that thinks my resume is a waste of time.

 

P.S. I have a references sheet too…but I didn’t want to post their info for EVERYone to see.
