Diaries of a Temp, Chapter 25: Promote Thyself

2009 July 1

Drinking coffee this morning out of my favorite mug gave me some really good ideas.

And by good I of course mean ridiculous.

My cup of choice happened to be a Dwight Schrute mug graced with a portrait of Dwight holding a sign that has his name spelled out as an acronym with attributes that he considered appealing to possible employers.

Brilliant.

Add that to the fact that my younger sister just forwarded me a resume she received at her marketing firm from a young woman who listed “handstands and basic tumbling” along with “writing and friendship bracelets” as her special skills.

These two occurances inspired me to create my very own Resume Acronym for those employers out there looking for something a little bit different.

L-egit

Y-iddish-Speaker

N-ational

D-efinitely hard working

S-omething to believe in

A-really good person

Y-outhful

 

Can you say HIRED?,

Send us your Name Acronyms that you think would hook a potential employer. P.s. Dwight’s was D evoted, W orker, I ntelligent,  G  ood worker, H ard Worker, T errific.
