When applying for jobs in the professional world, a resume can make it or break it when it comes to getting an interview. I am at a point where I am starting to apply for these kinds of jobs and I'm quickly realizing that post college life isn't as easy as I was hoping. Of course I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I at least thought I would be able to make up my own mind on what I wanted to do.
As I dive head first into the professional job hunting world I am constantly second guessing myself over the things I've said and what I've submitted in my resumes and applications. Right now getting a job in an art related field is a very high priority and every word I write and say has an effect on the outcome. I'm looking for opportunity in every direction and I can only hope those directions take me some where new and to a job I enjoy.
Over the past month my resume has gone through many variations and changes with every new job that comes my way. I never thought I would have to write about myself so many times in one summer. But I've gotten good at fluffing up the good stuff. I feel like I've done really great things the past three years and now it's a matter of showcasing those great things. I hope the job world can see what an asset I am.
As I sit here, writing this post with one hand and adjusting my resume again, I can only hope that this will all be worth it in the end and I can be happy with what I am doing as a career.
One way or another I'm going to work my butt off to get a career in the art world.
