Agents tell me I've been lucky enough to actually be interviewed with many candidates not reaching interview stage.
There have been some jobs where I'm missing a skill, a few where it goes to an internal candidate and a few where they retract the role due to budget or role revisions. But for each the feedback is always that I interview well and they like me....and in a few instances they try to find me roles elsewhere in the company.
What amazes me is that we are accepted and enter into jobs based on words - what we write (in our resume) and what we say (in the interview). I can't get over this. Pessimistic I know but I can't help but wonder how many people 'stretch the truth' or sell themselves well despite their actual skills or experience. Part of me feels uncomfortable about that being a christian and the other part feels like I am at a distinct disadvantage.
This morning I was thinking I'm glad I don't need to sell myself to get into Heaven, to have eternal life with the Father. But in a way it's harder - harder to have faith and be obedient to Christ.
