Resume Woes

Today in OP100, Fundamentals of Speech Communication, we were informed that we need to bring a copy of our resume to Tuesday's class, to use in our lesson about interviewing skills. While the syllabus had warned me this was coming, I still could not help but feel a slight twinge of worry, and to be honest, I'm twinging as I type.

I barely have a resume. Technically, I've only had one "real" job and one career-related job, and my extracurricular activities haven't been particularly illustrious. Plus, in all honesty, I don't know what to put on my resume. The resume I submitted when I applied to Emerson was a bit of a joke--I mean, it said that I was the Time Magazine Person of the Year! Of course, that was technically true, but nevertheless...

To put it simply, by being asked to create a resume, I have been forced to remember that I have truly accomplished very little.

To put it even more simply, I feel like a bum.
