Resume-Induced Introspection

I just got done with the most recent draft of my resume and, in the process, came face-to-face with my fears. At the most basic level, I am afraid that I just straight-up will never find a job. Yet while this fear sits beside me constantly, I am also afraid that someone may read my resume and think that I am capable of more than I really am or that I might find myself in a job/position that I am ill-equipped to handle. 

Maybe I should add "being her own worst critic" to my Skills section on my resume. I mean, I'm really good at it! 

Who knew that working on a resume would be the catalyst for such introspection? 

In other news...This week was tough at times but good overall.  

  • I was privileged to go along on two home visits for new clients, and while it was a tough experience, I am really grateful for all of the face-to-face interaction I have with these precious people whom we serve.
  • In an attempt to spread knowledge and facilitate discussion (about Palestine & Israel), I unwittingly angered some people. I am well aware that it is a contentious issue, but it's extremely important to me, and as such, it's difficult when others are not interested or even hostile to having the discussion. Oh well...
  • My fellow interns and I are heading to Belize tomorrow! 


Over and out.
