Thanks for those people who made the videos. They bring a lot of inspirations.
This afternoon when I was reading something about design, I come across The 25 Most Creative Designer Resumes You’ll See This Year.
I thought my resume, which is a ebook with background music is already over the top, but I must say those are far more creative.
The sad fact is: will there be any people who would equally appreciate creative ideas as you? What if the recruiter is just a dull person who would be willingly to follow all those rules and traditions?
The other day, with some hesitation I attend a job fair. I cannot help noticing that no one else’s resume is more than one page. I do remember our teacher advised us to make our resume simple and official. But I never thought that the whole university’s students are following the same format. I stood there for quite a few minutes, feeling like I am an alien.
We are in 21st century now, why there are still so many people trying hard to follow? Following is not a bad thing. Sometimes it does bring us some guidance. But is not it too sad when this following becomes a phenomenon or habit?
I always think, what defines a person’s competence is not what you can borrow from others, but what you can learn from others and form your own ideas. In the future world, following is not going to bring you success.
The weather in Beijing is not friendly in winter. Most of the time, I ‘d stay in my room and watch movie or TV from the internet.
I am going to graduate next June. Now nearly all the students are either studying or job hunting. I have been a job fair once. It was quite discouraging. It is quite hard to find the very kind of company and the very kind of job position that I ‘d like to fight for.
I am not a lazy girl. In fact, I enjoy challenges. But it is frustrating to face vast uncertainty.
I am sure it is a long way to go. But am I heading the right direction? What if I am going backward? What am I really looking for… Those questions are like wicked witch who enjoys casting shadows on a child’s dreams.
I wish I could have a lighthouse, guiding me through the darkness.
But people are all busy; they care about their own business. No one can save me except myself.
If there is no lighthouse, create one! No one can ever stop me from creating a guide inside my heart. I just have to follow her. She will be my angel, my inspiration, my dearest friend, my courage against all darkness, and most of all, my lighthouse.
So, dear Linda, please seal all your discourages, setbacks and hesitations, set off the journey under the guidance of the lighthouse towards the dreamland.
