Anyone watch the Miss America pageant last night? I didn't. I didn't even know it was on until this really funny chick I follow on Twitter was of course providing a very intriguing commentary.
Our society no matter what is surrounded by image. Whether its your looks, your ethical standing, or how much your got in your trunk...wait, I meant bank account. Every now and again your intelligence may help you move forward in life, but if your without common sense your kinda going to be at a stand still.
Since I went back to being a brunette, I've actually been taken a bit more seriously vs. when I was sporting the Blondie strands. I do lack common sense, poor grammar occasionally as you all know, but I think its safe to say I'm not an idiot. I just have my moments and at least I'm aware of it. I'm good at what I do career wise, I can talk my way almost through pretty much anything.....and it does help that I can cry on cue. I'm lucky enough to have some additional assets to help me along the way with making connections but right now I'm at my stand still.
So its only been one week that I've been trying to gain employment/internship in Colorado. No hits...not one. So, I guess it comes down to a cover-letter. Have to sell myself without using my eyes, cleavage or my great taste in shoes. I've already asked others for ideas on my cover-letter...but really haven't gotten good advice yet.
I've even been doing some reading that people actually add a photo to their resume. Really? Weird...or is it? Prospective employers get to read about you, talk to you, why not see who they are talking to? It makes sense to a point, except if you have someone just hiring you based on your looks then that isn't cool. Well...depends on the pay-scale. hahaha.
Any ideas???
