What Do You Think of As a Fun Resume?

What Do You Think of As a Fun Resume?What do you think of as a 'fun resume?' I ask that question to employers when I conduct my research for teaching and professional development workshops. It turns out the answer varies from person to person. Most people will agree that there are a few things that are fun resume writing activities and the usual rule is to follow them.Any career adventure can be interesting. For example, I am currently working with a nurse. This is a challenging but exciting job in which the pay is high and the benefits are good. It was a real thrill to work with her.The first of the fun resume writing activities is to not rush your career. People often try to fill out a resume when they are under a lot of pressure. While it may be true that we are under pressure as employers, this pressure can actually increase our chances of making a mistake because we are so caught up in the moment.So try to stay patient and don't rush. Remember that the skills and experiences you have gained are worth more than any job title. The same goes for any experiences that you might have had during your lifetime.The second thing is to maintain a mental balance. Sometimes we need to get away from our feelings to bring our intellect back into the picture. That is what I have found to be true with the nurse who had just retired.She seemed like she had been very busy life without the physical demanding career. She actually fit perfectly into a nursing role because her expertise in the most difficult situations in healthcare was apparent.It also makes sense for the same reason to take a break while preparing your resume. You must have heard the saying that, 'Time heals all wounds.' You may have heard it from your mother or grandfather who has experienced an early death.Your goal in all of this is to avoid distractions. They can distract you and give you the impression that you are not in control of your future. This can make you feel as if your job is already taken care of and it is up to you to get out there and take the job you are looking for.
