Make a Resume Blog

I was reading about creating a blog that involves an interactive resume. You can post about your skills, achievements, volunteering, and past work experience etc. So I created another blog for my resume, it’s not public though (yet) and it’s going to include all the awesome things I have done in my “career life” and how great I am in my “field.” But wait, I don’t have neither of those. I feel like I am just working to work. There is nothing I am really passionate about at this point, it has been squashed and is slowly drying out. There are several things I would like to see done and I have so many ideas, but of course my ideas require time and money, which I don’t think the company I work for would support me in. If only I worked for an awesome company that made millions, but no, I work for a non-profit and we do events where we charge $30 per person to attend and most of the people we know make minimum wage.

Anyway, back to the original topic. I have that other blog there and hopefully I will realize that those empty spaces, I can fill up. I would want to fill it up with projects that I am currently working on AND my volunteer work… both which I have to somehow start. Maybe what is scaring me is that I don’t have time or energy to do that. The secret truth is, I have a lot of time at during work. I just need to be more creative, maybe there will be some cut back in my little weak paycheck I even get now. But maybe I need to look at those dollars lost as investments made. I’m investing time in myself to reap the true benefits later.
