2012 has been the worst of times and this year on some occasions has been the best of times. My first resume of 2012 was like a nightmare. A hidden defect only appeared after it was attached as a file. Therefore, when I sent the first few out to positions I was hotly pursuing, I was disappointed when an interview was not extended.
After working in the same position for ten years, trying to take a crash course on how to get an employers attention has been a long and grueling process. It’s not like anyone else is looking for a job except for high school students trying to earn some extra money, recent college graduates, the millions of Americans who have been laid off and those looking to upgrade their position or management status. Anyhow, on a day when most Americas are off celebrating the 4th of July, I have been hard at work trying to resurrect my resume by creating a portfolio of my experience and expertise.
As I look at my freshly completed resume, I have come to peace with who I am, where I have been and what God has allowed me to accomplish. According to my records, I have been writing since 1993 as I began exploring poetry and wrote 19 songs, 12 of which compromise my one and only album, A Simple Confession. Only the Lord knows the future, yet I can rest assured this evening that any future job opening that attracts my attention will be greeted by my latest edition, a resume that will God willingly open the door to my future.
