Workin on the resume...
Jan. 5th, 2003 03:49 pmOne thing I've done this weekend is work on my resume. A particularly bad day at work on Friday made me decide to give it a whirl. My last resume is lovely, but it was done on a Mac with a lot of help from friends. I didn't have any version of it on my computer (a non-Mac). So I set to work, opened up Word 97, and started typing away. I added the two jobs I've had since my last update, and re-copied everything else. It was a very frustrating endeavor. I've said it before, I do not have the basic computer knowledge that most of you take for granted. Word 97 was on my computer when I got it, but I've had no instruction whatsoever on how to use it. It does things I don't understand, and won't let me do things that I want and I have no idea why.
Remember that TV show, where the guy finds a superhero costume, but he loses the instruction book? He puts the costume on anyway, and tries to fight crime, having no understanding of how to harness it's powers. He flies erratically, and crashes into walls a lot. That's kind of how I feel, I have this powerful tool, and I don't know how to use it. But I try anyway, what else can I do, and I crash into a lot of walls. It takes me FOREVER to do the simplest of things! The zines I did for Turboapa were a labor of love and frustration. The writing was easy, getting the page to look nice could take weeks! Arg!
So anyway, my job sucks, and I need a new one.
