Only the best jobs
February 22, 2010I waste so much time doing so many things, while missing the most important things. As I continue with the mentorship program with YEC I am reminded that I am not passionate about everything and some jobs are not a fit for me. It is easy with so much competition to fall into a job, volunteer position or lifestyle that just doesn’t fit you.
As many people begin to look for student summer jobs, the chance for meaningful summer experience feels like a race for who can get their resume in the fastest.
I am learning through my mentor that taking time to evaluate each job and personalize each resume will result in getting the right job for me. Sure, it will be more work tailoring each resume than firing off my cookie cutter version, but I would rather spend a few hours to send out one resume than taking 5 minutes to fire off 100 resumes and never getting a call back.
So this summer I’m all chips in for only the best jobs.
