Writing a 9-5 Resume As an Artist
Writing a 9-5 Resume As an ArtistWriting a 9-5 resume is an art. It takes a lot of practice and dedication to be able to make it, but once you do, you can land that dream job, start a new life and take on the world. So what should you write?Here's the thing: I never once found myself in a situation where I wanted to find a dream job. I don't know that I've ever been in the position of going through every day with my career. Sometimes I'm in the right place at the right time. Other times, I'm not.Looking for a job is like walking in the park and seeing a very beautiful piece of art. You need to take a step back and admire it for a few moments. Then you need to take another step and look closer at the detail in order to understand how it was made.Making a great resume isn't the same as understanding the details of your career. A resume is something to be kept in a file in order to get a promotion. If you can understand your resume, then you understand how to make one that will help you . The key to making a good resume is understanding the specificities of the job that you're applying for and taking the time to ensure that you understand the details of that job.Most people that make resumes for an employer are not going to be able to sit down and write a big professional art critic. When you are trying to find that job, you're not a big artist. In order to be able to write a great resume, you need to take the time to learn the details of the job.This isnot the most interesting part of the job. By all means, remember that. But take the time to understand how the details of the job relates to the details of the job that you've been working on and go from there.We always think that a resume is the 'wall' between a career and your 'dream' job. But this is a fallacy. Even the best of resumes will fail if you don't understand the details of the job that you're trying to land. And if you can't understand the details of the job, you'll have no choice but to start your new career off right by applying for a lower paying job.Making a resume is more than knowing the details of the job. It's knowing how to put the details of the job in the best light possible and find ways to separate yourself from the competition. Don't be intimidated by the fact that you can't write a 'big artist' resume. Just practice a little and find the nuances of your job that will allow you to write a great resume.
