Day 1: Causing Accountability

Sometimes acting on a thought is the best thing you can do. Today I thought why not write a medium blog everyday to talk about what I have done. To share a bit about why I have done it but mostly to hold myself accountable, so here we are.

I doubt this will follow a format, most likely there will be changes in tense and perspective within each post but that is ok. Starting things and just learning how to do them is whats important here.

Yesterday I sent a leaving note to where I work, I want to persue things they can’t give to me. I am diving into something I know but it feels unknown and it scares me. My fear of failure often gets in the way of my ability to do, I stop at the idea of rejection when I should just give my all. My own brain holding me hostage.

What I need to do is fix up my CV, I had it reviewed by some people but I need more. The current slew of rejection emails is dissapointing, but the reality is that my CV just needs to be better. Focus on the actionables.

I know there are people who would help me, I should ask them but I am putting it off because I am afraid of them seeing it. Which ultimately makes no sense so that is first on the list.

Once I have the next round of feedback I just need to test the CV, put it in the wild, does it get past the HR and recruitment filters. Then we make progress the jobs are lined up to apply for, I just need the CV reviewed so time to do that.
