Abifae - Ciao Babies!

[Wifezilla]

Ok, once we get through writing a real resume, abi needs to rewrite it in to "abi honesty".

That would be a total riot.

I did help her honestly answer the job app questions "why did you leave your job at Panera Bread?".

"Because it is a soul-sucking dead end job and it was turning me in to a zombie." Or something like that...

"smarter than everyone you know but willing to dumb down her speech so you can understand her with your little brains"

So - compassionate then?

I somehow missed this last night, Farm fresh.

WZ, "Because it is a soul-sucking dead end job and it was turning me in to a zombie." is translated into

"needed to seek environment more designed to nurture my passion for medicine and desire to help people."
in resume-speak that is.

I used to be a resume writer and I wanted to help Abifae jazz up her resume to make it STAND OUT from the crowd and represent her awesome wonderful self, and yet be something that she can easily live up to because it perfectly describes HER.

When I was writing resumes, people had a hard time saying nice things about themselves and I would sometimes suggest they ask their friends and loved ones for one word adjetives or short phrases that describe the person (in a positive way, of course) and in a fashion that an employer would look upon favorably.

Can I start with some suggestions?

I suggested

resourceful

creative

empathetic

Can you guys give us some more fodder for her resume and cover? Wifezilla I think you especially are the one whose assistance is especially necessary, but can everyone reading this today chime in for us? We may not use your "word" but we are trying to spark ideas.

Thanks in advance folks!

Honest

That would be an excellent word to work into the cover letter, abi. A fourth adjective can be added to that last sentence in I think it was the fourth paragraph, where I found the place to list several good things about you in a row? I'd insert "honest" there, people are looking for that these days with so much turmoil in the world.

 

[Farmfresh]

They just have NO freaking idea how "honest" an Abi can be!!!

Not that that is a bad thing in my book. We NEED more folks that will really tell it like it is!

How about the part where Abi doesn't like smart-alec real people so would love to work with those who are passing on. What does that translate to SD?

Love ya Abi.

I don't know how to phrase it, but I think the fact that Abi is so in-tune to the inner-workings of her own body would somehow enable her to be more understanding of what her patients are feeling. Empathic? Is that what I'm trying to say?

 

[savingdogs]

I picked empathetic as well and she discarded it. Oh well, you have to own your resume.

And KC that translates into resume-esque really easily....Abi doesn't like smart-alec real people so would love to work with those who are passing on turns into

"flair for working with the ill or the elderly"

 

[Dace]

You guys are hysterical!

Abs, it looks like you have your own resume posse!

SD you have quite a way with words

 

[savingdogs]

I like writing resumes. That is actually how I got myself my transcription job. I helped a next-door-neighbor with her resume and her sister was so impressed with it, she wanted to meet me and hired me for her budding (at that time) transcription business. I knew nothing about it but had worked in dentistry and medical words are all kind of built the same. But I'm kind of a "word" person, Hubby and I are such nerds, we challenge each other to games of competition at Jeopardy or at Reader's Digest It Pays To Increase Your Wordpower. So I just looked up a lot of words for awhile. Now they are all going to voice recognition software I heard. So that career is kind of going away.

 

[abifae]

You guys are awesome!!!

I don't think empathic is accurate is all. I can see what I would do in a situation, but I cannot imagine what someone else would do, in a personal way. I can see what they might do culturally though. LOL.

I'll have to compile all these into a list
