Maintain positive outlook

There are times

when I just want to smack

team members

who should know better

* breathe *

It’s tough

to maintain positive outlook

and be an example

yet

it’s possible.

Just brainwash myself

that everyone’s here

on their personal journey

to become a better person.

Be honest in resume

Sometimes, we forget what we’ve learnt and done. Interviewers may assume that job seekers still remember and “maintain” the standards.

When the new employee can’t perform up to the standard as listed in the resume, the company can actually fire the employee on the grounds that the employee lied in the resume. Once the employee is caught with adding spice & salt (and other tastes), it’s harder for the employer to trust the employee.

Sure, job seekers may think that’s how they got a job & good perks. If they take proactive steps to learn to be up to and reach the standard in the resume in time, that’s fine. If not, it’s seriously going to affect the performance review (and salary increment).

It’s better to be honest – so that you can evaluate the job & the company/interviewer knows if you are going to fit like a glove for the job. At least if you don’t get the job after the interview, you’ll have another interview experience, learnt more about the company and the industry, know which job task you would like/not like, etc. It wouldn’t be wasted, being honest.
