 Above is my resume. The summary has been tweeked a little bit for the purpose of this post. I will credit my older brother for the inspiration. We all, at some point in our lives, are looking to summarize what we are in order to seperate ourselves from the crowd.  

I think I am a pretty good guy. In short I'm not a douche-bag. I have been fortunate to always have a job when I needed one. So this whole application and interview process is new to me. My underlying thought is "hey, I'm a hardworker, help me out, give me a chance and I'll show you. 

I know that work will come. In many ways this job situation is like a woman, or a relationship. I am not particularly looking at the moment. When I do start looking it may not be as easy as saying "hey, I'm not a douche-bag. Maybe you'll like me if you give me if you give it a chance". Alas, life is not that easy. Things take time. While not being a douche-bag is a good asset, and certainly a benefit, it can't be your only line. Not being a douche-bag means that you undoubtedly have some other great qualities. Give it some time and those will shine through.
