Do you know yourself TOO well to "sell" yourself?
---By Gita Stulberg, Professional Resume Writer
Have you ever had a friend introduce you to someone and realized in two minutes they have managed to sell you better than you ever could. Have you sat hour upon hour staring blankly at the computer screen trying to find the ultimate verb-adjective combinations to make you sound marketable? Are you starting to see cracks in your ceiling that nobody else sees? Have you cleaned your house or apartment till it shines like the top of the Chrysler building? Let me tell you a little secret, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
One of the hardest tasks we all must endeavor upon in our job search process is writing the perfect resume that will make us shine like our over cleaned homes. It is a lot easier to do this for other people because you are not emotionally involved in the same way. The truth is many of us waste so much time trying to create our prefect pitch on paper that the end result represents some saintly fictitious character that is absolutely unrecognizable to you and has little insight to offer any potential employer.
This time, YOUR time, spent torturing yourself could be put to much better use, you are procrastinating, and allowing yourself to remain stuck. Imagine the next steps, the things you could and should be doing now. YOU COULD be prepping for the interview process; you know how to sell yourself face to face! YOU SHOULD be networking with people that inspire you and searching for the job of your dreams!
