fixed up the resume, cover letter & portfolio this past week! took them into the career center for a drop-in sesh today, and i was pleasantly surprised to find that the counselor was actually impressed.
on most days when i think about my resume, my qualifications, and skills, the first thought that comes to mind is mediocre. in fact, most of the time i feel like the underdog in this whole job qualifications thang. but what i forget to tell myself is that i am in fact very capable. god has blessed me in SO many ways. just making it to a university alone puts us gauchos in the top percentile. add on a job, leadership experience, and extracurriculars, and you've got something to talk about.
i think we all neglect to remind ourselves from time to time that WE CAN DO THIS. that although we're about to be thrust out into the "real world", we have been taught, groomed, and prepared to be successful and contributing individuals in this corporate America we call home. although daunting, i have to admit that it'll be both an interesting and exciting experience to see where we all end up.
so far i have 6 companies in mind that i plan to apply to as soon as i finalize my documents. my list will continue to grow as the days pass by! i'll keep you all updated on how that goes.
but chyea, just some random blurbs. got a lot on my plate right now, & im tryna stay positive :)
oh and random thought:
i've been suuuper itching to go surfing. but i dont have a wetsuit. and have no desire to buy one if it's over $50, especially if i'm moving to HI next year. oh wellllssss. i guess i'll just continue to suck once i get there. ha!
for now, a nap is sounding quite amazing. i will continue this later!
