That Heron is me right now; my landings look awkward but are not yet so well done in the end. So, we begin and maybe you can start things going with a reply. Talk of cats and cat health, photography (a passion of mine), jewelry ( I used to make it and nice stuff at that) or of Jesus.
We could talk about finding a job since I am unemployed at this time, and last month and the one before that. Do you know that almost the only way to apply for a job is on the Internet? The days of walking in a door and handing a kind hr person a resume are over. Apply Online and don't forget the keywords. You see, the stuff you spend time putting together even with a cover letter is likely scanned for keywords directly linked to the job at hand. You have all the qualifications? Without the keywords a real person is unlikely to ever see all your hard work at the keypad.
I had one job going, I thought. Well, the keywords were not there. I did it right the next time, same job, new resume with same qualifications but with the keywords gleaned from the job description all polished and sparkling . Yikes! It worked fast!
That same day someone actually saw my resume...and advised me to try again for some other job and thanks for considering their company. No job. Was I too awkward looking in the resume, scattered, too qualified or not qualified enough? I would love to know why the rejection. Honestly, knowing why could be helpful next time around don't you think? No job there but I take joy: Someone saw it.
For a baby blog, this is too serious sounding logging. Enough of this. Now you know. Next log should be something very neat perhaps, once we see through its awkward disguise.
I love your new blog, Thomas! I will definitely subscribe and be a fan. Keep writing. I'm also praying for your job search. You'd be such a great employee and colleague.
