resume

Life is what happens when you're making other plans. So does your résumé. It takes on a life of its own if you let it. Some people try to map out their paths and plan every step, but in reality, life hands you something better. A dead end is really a detour to a new route you hadn't planned on taking. Every experience enhances your life now or later.

When it comes to getting a job or client, congruent value is aligning the employer's need with your value add.

The way to be irreplaceable is to become a social innovator. Start projects that motivate you to save the world and simultaneously make you money (and create mindshare) for your company. Social innovation makes magic happen.

Don't wait to be compelled to do great work.

Write like you speak with the 'rhythms of human speech,' as William Zinsser said, and in as few words as possible. Use action verbs to carry water.

The most important tool you have on a resume is language.

I need my eulogy to look better than my resume. I'm living for that.

[God] loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us.

I find it a challenge to cooperate in a society where it's considered moral to critique a résumé yet immoral to critique morality.

Reading is the noblest of all the hobbies, that is why people mention it so frequently in their resume even if they don't read much.

I don't understand this irony - valuable things like cars, gold, diamond are made up of hard materials but most valuable things like money, contracts and books are made up of soft paper.

It's not about how smart you are--it's about capturing minds.

Take the path less traveled and learn from your mistakes. Don__ just let life happen around you; control your future. Learn to ask questions, set small goals, and dream of big ones. Absorb any criticism and let it fuel you. Convince others that you are worthy of your dream, and show them that you are willing to put up a damn good fight for it.

No one creates a perfect resume on their first try.

Your education is important because with only a few words you can show an employer the depth of your potential.

Credentials are like potential energy, the compliments of a name on paper, in documents, word of mouth, but faith is like kinetic energy, the motion and the force that which is witnessed. Hence in the end it is the faith rather than the credentials that really takes you places.

Social change isn't something you should do just to help pad a resume. Follow your passion.

If you call failures experiments, you can put them in your resume and claim them as achievements.
