How to Make Your Job Search
a Work of Art
What do I mean about a job search being
a work of art? I believe that it is an ad-
venture in making efforts to become and
be the best person you naturally are.
Most people, I think, think of themselves
as a drone or drudge trying to find and
fit into a proscribed set of circumstances
called a job description. Where does
art fit into that?
Here I do not think of art as an objective
set of things. Art "things" could be:
A training video; a painting on canvas;
a statue; or any artful things for the
eyes to see.
An artful job seeker is one who is:
Caringabout their appearance;
someone who knows how to communicate
with others; knows how to make a good
presentation of him or herself. The job
seeker can become a canvas for all to
see and judge.
Some art judges, (employers) do not
like what they see. An example would be
someone who dresses flamboyantly or
has wild, excitable gestures. That same
employer may like to see a canvas, (job
seeker) to be somewhat like themselves
in manner, dress, communication style
and in performance.
It all depends on what "art judge" you
may want to impress. Research carefully
about what art form you want to use as
a job seeker. Some employers may want
the person who uses exaggeraed colors
in a wardrobe to be their candidate.
What kind of art form are you going to be
in your job search adventure?
