Your Resume

 Anonymous

I have said before that men are like jobs. If this is true, which it is; then your body is your resume. When you submit your resume to an employer you are careful to ensure it has your qualifications well highlighted, keywords throughout, and the right balance of length and depth. The key to any good resume is making it so powerful and captivating that you get the interview. Your resume does not get you a job but it does get you in the door. It guarantees you time in front of the employer so that you can further discuss and give greater explanation as to how you will perform in the job. Once you’ve submitted your resume, and had your interview it’s still up to the employer to decide if you will be a good fit for the job and the company, thus extending you an offer. I am explaining this in great depth because men are no different.
Just like an HR coordinator sees hundreds of resumes for a job posting, men see hundreds of women throughout their life. Their ultimate job opening is of course that of a mate or a companion. This is a tough job to fill and they must sift through many women aka resumes just to narrow the search. While I would love to lie and say that men look at the whole embodiment of a women to determine if she will get an interview, this is not the case. Men are visual creatures. We know this. They have a short attention span similar to children, small playful dogs, and HR coordinators who need to get through several resumes in a short time frame. Just as the HR staff looks for key words, men look for key things to determine if you are worth the time and money of an interview or a date. While key words on an actual resume might be something like: project management, communication skills, presentation skills, iCloud, and customer service. Key words for a man are not words at all but features ie. boobs, ass, waist, hair, eyes, smile, legs, and feet. Is this shallow? Maybe. But there are hundreds of women how else would one narrow his search and get through everyone. This brings me to the point of considering your own resume. Is it job posting ready? Is the best of you highlighted? Have you determined what your key words are and have you looked into gaining skills to add to your list? This is important. I’ll give an example.

You are overweight. You know it. You are still attractive but you are overweight. Some men like big women, of course this is true. But realistically, most men like healthy women. I am not suggesting every woman be a size 0. This is ridiculous, unnatural, and impossible. I am suggesting however that every woman be healthy and be the smallest she can be without killing herself. Get mad if you want! Tell me I’m wrong if you want. I don’t care. I’m not the one wondering where a man for me is. By getting to a healthy size you are only getting another key word to add to your resume and widening the net for potential job placement. Will you find a man who will accept you for being overweight? Possibly. Will your “job search” take a lot longer? Include more guys that you might not even like? Most likely. Just as in a job search your only goal with your resume is to get as many interviews as possible. You want to be the decision maker, choosing from job offers, not hoping to get chosen. You want to be turning men down, not wondering why you can’t even get an interview/date. Start by working on your key words. You are already fabulous, I don’t doubt that. You do however need an opportunity to show this to a man and that won’t happen if your outside doesn’t peak his interest for a date.

The same goes for your hair, your clothes, your skin, everything external. You’ve only got a few minutes tops before the next girl/resume walks through the door. You’ve got to show your best so you get the interview/date not the chick next to you. This may sound crazy but give it some real thought and work on updating your resume; the interviews will start rolling in. Then you’ll have the opportunity to show everyone just how great you really are.
