Job Seeker Secrets, Mistakes to Avoid, Resume Advice

My career as a worldwide minister seemingly went off track and was sidelined when my ex-wife of 5 years had an affair, continued to befriend men, and we divorced. Yet I managed to turn the mess into a message and today am a best-selling author and Relational Expert from the personal ground zero I experienced, pain I processed, and trauma I passed through.
Enduring the season of financial loss in which my familial inheritance and home was stolen from me by an adulterous ex-wife, I chose to forgive and live believing God to give me double for my trouble. Two years later I met a lovely Canadian whom I asked to marry me in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower. She truly is the love of my life and a glorious upgrade. We have been happily married for over a year and live in Florida.
By daily personal affirmation, determination, and discipline I took control of my life to get where I am today. By humility, consistency, and creativity I shall continue to blossom fully into my destiny.
My advice to job seekers when attempting to appropriate overused phrases to present their talent on a resume:
"Self-starter" (I worked at Ground Zero the first week of 9/11 while everyone else was watching it on TV and biting their fingernails. I drove a rental car up from Florida to get there as all airports across the country were shut down.)
"people person" (I comforted victims of genocide in Rwanda, helped build a Muslim young man's home in the tsunami epicenter of Indonesia, and spoke to a group of leaders going through a devastating war in East Timor.)
Things not to share with co-workers.
- Your personal problems with your spouse and family.
- Your financial struggles and debts.
- Your plans to go work for another company.
- Your irritation and dislike of your boss and/or fellow employees.
- Your disagreements with management and company policy.
Job seeker mistakes.
- Being overly zealous and appearing desperate. - Calling too often and not giving the employer ample time to evaluate all applicants.
- Irritating people throughout the chain of command en route to the decision makers.
- Showing up late to an interview.
- Asking and burdening the secretary to provide you directions instead of using mapquest and taking initiative yourself.
- Not dressing professionally and being well groomed.
- Interrupting the interviewer and asking too many questions causing you to appear dumb.
- Disrespecting other applicants interviewing for the same position.
- Poor bodily posture showing lack of confidence and low self-image.
- Confusion and lack of certainty when answering questions during the interview.
As a Career Coach and Worldwide Speaker who has been to over 50 countries transforming individuals and organizations, I recognize that my personal hardships endured during my early years of life laid the foundation for me to properly process pain and purposefully push forward. Hence my misery became my ministry. Today my previous tests have become my testimony, wherewith I bless humanity and empower them to overcome and live victoriously.
Take my advice and flourish in your future!
