Looking for God#8217;s Resume

Looking for God8217s Resume Looking for Gods Resume Im an agthetic I dont know and dont care whether God exists.- college flat-mate So, Wheres the Resume That Covers This?Assuming that if God submitted a job resume, it would be perfect, reviewing it as a job applicant or as a recruiter would prove to be a very useful and instructive exercise.However, it is one thing to be open to the idea of gleaning something from The Ultimate Resume, and quite another to even imagine getting ones hands on it.That would, nonetheless, be the greatest windfall and breakthrough in the history of job hunting ever since Adam and Eve were, we are told, banished from the Garden of Eden and forced to create or find jobs for themselves.Imagine a glimpse of the Ten Commandments of resume writing implicit in the perfection of the Creators CV. Sure, none of us could match the content or the exemption from references- but the form Think of the form Obviously, since any resume standards that we mortals could po ssibly aspire to adopt could be no better than that one, all we would have to do is to do our best to emulate, i.e., crib, as much of it as we could.As for an omnipotent Gods possible motivation in submitting a resume, despite no evident need for one or for a job, it can be argued that such a CV would be analogous to the revelation of the Ten Commandments- a revealed platzdeckchen of guidelines to steer us in the right direction, especially given that we, most of our ancestors and descendants- immediate and remote- will have at some time been pushed into work as a result of the push from Eden. (Who knows?- Maybe Gods resume could tacitly be an apology and helping hand to those of us who have had to look for work and validation for the rest who have not.)The obvious problem is that it seems that no such Divine resume exists. Or does it? Surprise Here is a proof that Gods resume does indeed exist. (What follows may have a familiar ring for those of you who have ever heard of St. Ans elm. If not, enjoy the perfect freshness of the proof and Google St. Anselm later.)STEP 1 Imagine (or, with less effort, conceive) a perfect resume than which none greater can be conceived..(Try very hard. OK?)STEP 2 Now imagine that perfect resume does not exist. (That should be easy.)STEP 3 But then, consider that if that perfect resume does not exist, it follows that it is not as perfect as an identical resume that in fact exists and can just as easily be conceived- since the hard pspeciese was conceiving the perfect resume in the first place. (A pizza that actually exists is more perfect than one that does not. Call this the Perfect Pizza Principle.) That is to say you can conceive or imagine a perfect resume that does exist and also understand that it is more perfect than a so-called perfect one that doesnt exist.STEP 4 Accept the fact that the than-which-no-greater-exists, truly most perfect resume must exist. (Thats because existence is a form of perfection- as the PPP (Perfe ct Pizza Principle) illustrates and because you can conceive that perfection. Besides, if you claim you cant, someone else can. If you dont mind the subtle circularity, it can be argued that God can.)STEP 5 Accept the fact that since God is the most perfect being of all, that resume must be Hisor Hersor Its. (This conclusion seems inescapable.)STEP 6 Try to find it.You may be tempted to counter that even if this proves Gods resume has existed, its mucksmuschenstill possible that it doesnt exist anymore- on analogy with the God Is Dead notion. Once was, now isnt.Sorry, that line of argument wont work- neither for God nor for The Resume. The non-existence of either is inconceivable. Thats because not only does Gods resume exist, it must exist,- forever, as well as now and in the past.Heres why If a perfect Gods perfect resume could somehow be destroyed- not by a perfect God, since there would be no reason to destroy anything perfect, it would not be as perfect as a resume that could n ot be destroyed. This concept is very similar to the idea of a Superman who cannot be destroyed by kryptonite, or by anything else, being more perfect than one that could.If you think this is mere wordplay, try to conceive the non-existence of space.OK, try again. You dont have to try to imagine it just conceive it. Conceiving is easier than imagining, e.g., conceiving a shape with 24,236 sides is easier than imagining it. Still cant do it, right? Empty space is not the same thing as no-space. Neither is a vacuum. Nor an infinitesimally small Big-Bang mass point. Nor absolute darkness. That wont work either, since the darkness is an expanse and an expanse defines a space.God and The Resume apparently are just like space nonexistence? Inconceivable. (For those of you philosophically-minded or well-versed, think Kant.)That said, all that remains is for someone to find That Resumethe one that is perfect and therefore indestructible. Can it be found? Of course.by the perfect resume hunt er than whom no greater can be conceived.Master the art of closing deals and making placements. Take our Recruiter Certification Program today.

Alternative Summer Opportunities for Law Students

Alternative Summer Opportunities for Law StudentsAlternative Summer Opportunities for Law StudentsSo, you didnt snag a summer associate spot at your target law firm or a coveted internship at your dream nonprofit? Chin up. While a prestigious summer gig has its benefits, there are plenty of alternative opportunities that can make your 1L or 2L summer worthwhile and provide useful experience for your future legal career. With April around the corner, its time to nail down your summer plans- check out some of our suggestions below.Keep studying- but not law.With only a few short years left to enjoy summer break, the idea of going to summer school may be low on your list, but hear me out. One of the complaints from both lawyers and legal employers is that law school doesnt adequately prepare lawyers for practice. Whether you agree with that notion or not, there is always room to grow your skill set. If you already know your intended practice area, consider the aspects of that area in wh ich you could use a stronger foundation. For example, if you are interested in transactional work, consider enrolling in some geschftsleben-related and accounting classes through your universitys business school. If you are leaning toward litigation, seek out some writing and public-speaking courses. If you hope to go into family law, seek out courses through your schools social work or psychology departments. Science and technology classes would be useful for those considering a career in IP. The list goes on, of course, and the courses that will be the best fit will depend on which practice area you pursue. (Also, dont be afraid to reach out to practicing attorneys in your network and ask which courses they feel would be most useful for someone in their area.)Or just study law.You dont have to take non-legal courses taking classes at your law school over the summer is great idea too. Completing coursework over the summer- if your school offers it- can give you more time during the semester to focus on other activities like journal or moot court. Or summertime can be a prime opportunity to immerse yourself in a difficult topic so that you can tackle it head on. Summer school is also a good time to take classes you otherwise wouldnt have time for but find interesting.Take your studying on the road.Study abroad isnt limited to undergrad there are a number of interesting study abroad options for law students. Obviously, for those drawn to cross-border work, a study abroad program can be particularly useful. But you dont have to be set on an international legal career to benefit from studying abroad. Youll make connections that can last your entire legal career, explore aspects of the law that you may never have considered while confined to a classroom, and travel to new places. Of course, these programs arent free, so youll have to consider whether one will fit into your budget. And if youre interested, you need to jump on your application now as many deadlines are fast approaching in the next week or two (and some have already lapsed).Work with a professor.Dont underestimate the value of spending your summer as a research assistant for one of your law school professors, especially if the professor is a scholar in your preferred area of law. Not only will a research position provide an opportunity to learn more about a particular legal area, but it will also allow you to develop a stronger relationship with the professor. As with every career path, connections are everything. You never know what doors will open with the right letter of recommendation or phone call. So a summer working under a respected legal scholar is a definite plus.Find a Legal Judicial Internship.While some of the more competitive judicial summer internships may have already been filled, you might leise find opportunities with state judges. Consult with career services to see if there are any judges who frequently hire from your law school. You can also find a director y of judges on a states judiciary website. Interning for a judge will provide invaluable experience in observing the inner workings of the judiciary. You will be able to observe arguments, read motions (and see what works and what doesnt), and gain insight into the judges decision-making process.Think small.millionenfach firms and corporate legal internships arent the only paths to valuable legal experience. Local law firms and solo practitioners can offer useful learning experiences, as well. While you may not walk away with a hefty paycheck, you may gain valuable mentoring and an opportunity to shadow one attorney, rather than being lost in a sea of interns. When I was in college, I interned for a solo practitioner who gave me challenging research opportunities, talked through the research with me in detail, and brought me to court with him (and introduced me to judges and lawyers). I walked away with sharper research skills and greater confidence in my legal writing, and observin g arguments in court gave me new perspective. Smaller firms and solo practitioners may not have formal internship programs, but that doesnt mean they arent willing to take on an intern (although it will probably be on a volunteer basis or for school credit). Check with career services for a list of alumni to contact, ask professors if they have any connections, or reach out to your network to find some local lawyers who may be a good fit.Volunteer.Other volunteer positions, aside from local firms, may also still be available, so cast your net wide. Working for free isnt ideal, but if you can swing it, gaining experience that will help you develop as a lawyer may be worth it. And you still have time to snag a spot working at some pretty amazing places. For example, the Department of Justice hosts Volunteer Legal Internships, and there are still some summer positions posted on its website the New York State Office of the Attorney General is still accepting applications for volunteer i nterns in the New York City office The Legal Aid Society is seeking Criminal Defense Practice Law Clerks in Brooklyn, New York and the National Parks Conservation Association is hiring a Summer Sun Coast Legal Intern in Florida- to name a handful of options. In some cases, you may be able to get school credit for these opportunities, making them even more valuable.Or get paid.Of course, unpaid internships arent the only ones still hiring. With summer programs starting in just a few months however, time to apply is running out. Set up a meeting with career services to see if they know of any available opportunities. And search broadly on your preferred job search board.In a few weeks, youll be bogged down with finals preparation take time now to find your summer job if you havent already.

Why Googles employees walked out and what it could mean for labor

Why Googles employees walked out and what it could mean for laborWhy Googles employees walked out and what it could mean for laborThe recent walkout by thousands of Google employees at offices around the world was the first abfllige bemerkung of its kind by well-paid and benefit-rich high-tech workers.The collective action was triggered by a report that their employer had awarded several top male executives accused of sexual misconduct multimillion-dollar exit packages. But their list of demands suggests the roots of the crisis go much deeper.To me, its a reminder of just how outmoded American labor laws are, a primary area of my research these days. In fact, the underlying grievances that motivated the Google employees to walk out are emblematic of whats prompting millions of American workers to feel they have lost their voice.And unfortunately, U.S. labor law no longer has their back. The walkout by these non-union professionals at Google, however, might change that.Five demandsThe brief walkouts took distributions-mix in about 40 Google offices including New York, London, Singapore and the companys headquarters in Mountain View, California.They followed a New York Times investigation that found that the search giant gave Andy Rubin, the creator of its Android mobile software, a US$90 million exit package despite a credible claim of sexual misconduct. The report said two other executives received similar treatment.The leaders of the walkout presented a list of five demands on an Instagram pagean end to forced arbitration in cases of harassment and discriminationa commitment to end pay and opportunity inequalitya publicly disclosed sexual harassment transparency reporta clear, uniform, globally inclusive process for reporting sexual misconduct safely and anonymouslypromote the chief diversity officer to answer directly to the CEO and make recommendations directly to the board of directors. In addition, appoint an employee representative to the board.The demand s signal, in my view, a deep dissatisfaction with the lack of effective channels for reporting and resolving harassment claims, as well as a distrust of human resources, a department tasked with looking out for employees legal rights and enforcing company policies.Workers losing their voiceThe Google walkout has little precedent to help us understand what might happen next.For one thing, its the first time employees at a high-tech company with their free meals and on-site gyms staged a public protest. For another, it spanned multiple countries, a feat that very few unions are able to pull off. Finally and perhaps most importantly, the demands put forward go well beyond those covered under U.S. labor law.The thing that comes closest to it is the spontaneous strike by 25,000 executives, managers and employees at the Market Basket grocery chain in Massachusetts in 2014 to protest the firing of their CEO in a family dispute over strategy. After a six-week strike and a consumer boycott , the board capitulated and sold the company to the CEO. At the time, I called it the most successful strike of the 21st century.Both Market Basket and Google are examples of outbursts of employee tensions that have long been simmering among the private workforce. In a recent national survey we conducted at MIT, a majority of workers said they dont have as much of a voice as they believe they should on a range of issues, from compensation and benefits to protections against harassment and respect for their labor.Astoundingly, almost half of respondents said they would join a union if given the chance, a number that has increased from about one third in comparable surveys conducted in prior decades.Yet, in case after case, companies have suppressed worker efforts to form a union, as we saw at Boeing facilities in South Carolina, Nissans Mississippi factory and Volkswagens Tennessee plant.No legal standingLike at Market Basket, Googles employees have no legal standing to require their employer to negotiate with them, particularly over the issues they care about.Legal standing only comes if they go through what is almost always a hotly contested, long and usually futile election process overseen by the National Labor Relations Board.And should they try, these employees would quickly find the board would rule a good number of them ineligible for coverage for several reasons, such as their being managers, contract employees or simply outside the U.S.Furthermore, their demands such as an employee rep on the board or requiring the chief diversity officer to report to the CEO are outside the narrow confines of what the labor relations board considers the mandatory scope of bargaining.And the demand to eliminate forced arbitration would likely end up at the Supreme Court, which has already issued a ruling that backs companies right to do it.But powerless?All this is not to say that Google employees are powerless to achieve the structural changes they seek.Although la bor law wont protect them, they might be able to use the hundreds of millions of Googles customers of its search engine, email program or mobile phone software to pressure executives to negotiate in good faith.In this regard, Google might be wise to look to Market Basket for guidance. Because of the strong customer support of the workers in that dispute, business plunged by 90 percent, which is likely what compelled the board to give in.In other words, if Googles employees hold steady despite the lack of federal protection, they could not only end up changing their companys policy on harassment, but become the vanguard that could help disrupt U.S. labor law in the process.Thomas Kochan, George Maverick Bunker Professor of Management Professor, Work and Organization Studies Co-Director, MIT Sloan Institute for Work and Employment Research, MIT Sloan School of ManagementThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Your Grades

How to Answer Job Interview Questions About Your GradesHow to Answer Job Interview Questions About Your GradesWhen you are applying for an entry-level position, a typical job interview question is for the interviewer to ask you about your grades and how they represent you as a person. It can either be tricky or easy to answer depending, of course, on the grades you received. The Straight-A Student If youre an A student, your answer will be easy, but you should also express your skills and varied experience outside of the classroom. For example, you dont want your potential employer to think youre book-smart only, lacking social fluency or the ability to interact and communicate well with others. Further, youll want to emphasize any work experience youve gained during your college career, including internships, volunteer work, and part-time jobs. These show prospective employers that you know how to function in a workplace as well as in a classroom. The Average and Below Averag e Student If your grades were only average, or worse, you have some reframing to do. The good news is that no college career is summed up entirely with grades. In fact, as far as employers are concerned, your grades wont matter at all once you have a few years of experience under your belt. Your goal right now is to show the hiring manager your skills and experience outside of your academic achievements. Regardless of your grades, its most important to frame your answer in a way that conveys that you are an intelligent, diligent, and well-rounded worker who would add value to the company. Preparation is key to pulling this off. The last thing you want is to seem uncomfortable when youre telling your story. These sample interview answers will help you choose the best approach. Edit them to fit your personal experiences and background. How to Answer if You Have Good Grades Yes, I feel my grades are a very accurate indication of my success in college and graduate school. I took my academics very seriously and worked very hard for the grades I received. I am proud of the achievements I have made. But, Id also like to emphasize my extracurricular activities where Ive demonstrated leadership and interpersonal skills in addition to academic success.Yes, I am a hard worker who takes my grades very seriously. My success didnt necessarily come easily to me. I spent a lot of time studying, while also balancing an internship and extracurriculars where I obtained real-life work skills. It wasnt an easy feat, but I managed to succeed in all three areas, and I think this is a good indication of my diligence and dedication to my responsibilities. Yes, my grades are indicative of my academic achievement. But to be honest, Im even mora proud of some of the projects I worked on outside of my classes. I spent much of my free time junior and senior years volunteering at a local shelter, and the experience helped guide my career path. I believe that I found my purpose as a res ult of my volunteer work, and several staff members helped me find and land my internship senior year. If You Have Average, Inconsistent, or Poor Grades My grades are a good indication of my academic achievement, but in a way, you may bedrngnis expect. The improvement that you will see over four years of college does not show lack of achievement in those early semesters. Rather, it shows the effects of finding an area of study that I was passionate about and good at.As you can see, Ive gotten average grades while in college, but I think my involvement with other aspects of my college life offers better evidence of my achievement. For example, Im a Marketing and Events Chair for my sorority, coordinating all of our social and fundraising events and marketing outreach. I also hold a marketing internship at a local agency and am Vice President of the Undergraduate Marketing Club. My efforts have been focused on developing real-world skills rather than scoring all A grades on my exa ms. My grades are not a good indication of what I achieved academically in college. Not because I got bad grades, but because the fieldwork and internships that I participated in are where I achieved the most academically. If you want to see my achievements, I will share my portfolio and tell you about my work experiences.
