SPOILER ALERT: It’s summer time
don’t click that link, you know already know what it is.
Also, just to clarify, as much as I love Chad Danforth, Troy Bolton will always be my number #1 (or rather my #14)
But we’re not talking about Troy because he had a pretty sweet constant influx of opportunities which is definitely not as relatable as Chad, and whatever problem he has that made this a thing:
So here’s the deal, I might have some stuff lined up for this summer. MIGHT. Which is weird, because normally, when people are like, “I’m not gonna have an internship, or a job, or a sense of purpose, or a chance at happiness”
I’m like
but weirdly I may or may not be taking intro animation classes at my local Community College, and/or interning at this architecture and design firm back home.
And while I’m really excited about both of these opportunities, both are still a little up in the air, and interfere with my ideal summer plans which include sleeping in and chilling with my besties
But more importantly, if I want this internship (which I do) I have to do all that applying for an internship stuff. (>>>)
So because I literally wandered into my only real world job, my resume is literally a series of questionable design choices designed to hide the fact that I had zero work experience.
I’m not going to include it because it’s even more embarrassing than that volleyball photo, so here’s a .gif that reflects pretty much exactly how i felt while making it. (vvv)
So this time I went to the professionals, by which I mean CP&R.
So it’s probably time to admit that, for a CP&R blogger, I don’t actually utilize their resources as much as I should, but they have drop-in hours from 10-4 on weekdays and I had zero ideas on resume writing so I figured it was probably time.
First of all, those magazine looking things by the door have sample resumes inside them which means if you feel really self-conscious about how bad/non-existent your resume is YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO TALK TO A PERSON
But you probably should, i just found it useful to get started before having someone else look at it.
The super helpful/friendly people at CP&R can give you helpful tips like where to put numbers or how to use nifty action verbs to make your resume stand out (vvv)
So basically, the point of this Chad Danforth themed post is that you have a team to help you with summer things!
WHAT TEAM? CP.. no, that’s actually sacrilegious, it’s the Wildcats, it’s always the Wildcats
And, when you have a team that has your back, there’s a lot of stuff you can do, like trying something really new!
Unfortunately, there’s one other thing I feel I should mention, and I really hate to end this post on a sour note, but this is important.
You can have all the support in the world, and all the experience a person could ask for. You could fill out all the petitions that Kelly has to offer, and still, I’m pretty sure, that despite all this effort and all the hope in the world, you still can’t major in vacation.
