well…its been two weeks and i have been on the internship hunt..i want to work in ad firm..as the internship lasts the duration of my summer hols i.e roughly 45 days, my hopes weren’t too high…after loads of hopeless phone calls to “contacts” who is a friend of a friend of a friend of mine,i have landed nowhere..

i was having a hard time making a resume as well.somehow i found the whole exercise futile.i mean, what the heck am i supposed to write under strengths- that i can bend steel with my leadership skills?? seriously, trying to boil down your personality into bullet points is like trying to shove yourself into a box…and what about my career objective…i had a look at what my friends had put and they were so damn silly with fancy phrases like creative asset sprinkled around for good measure…another friend well versed in such stuff told me that it should reflect what i see myself doing 5 years from now. in other words, it should be specific.. sadly i have no idea where i see myself five years from now and honestly, i dont want to know…..i stumbled upon the blog post by seth godin about resumes that talked about doing away with it entirely…while i agree with his opinion on one level, i must also point out that me being in the back office of the world(bangalore) , remarkable jobs are very hard to come by….
