I recently submitted my resume to Fog Creek for an internship. I feel like I did a pretty good job and I hope I have a good chance of getting an interview. The real issue with writing a resume and cover letter is that you always have a feeling you left something out. A good example is my job as a Youth Minister. That was a pretty good job! I had a salary and budget I had to keep track of as well as a ton of planning. It can be pretty hard to mention that you were essentially the sole executive person involved in the planning and implementation of an entire youth program. I haven't even mentioned that I had to make presentations and create entire curriculums along with dealing with the politics of a large organization. To say all this in one sentence is a "wicked" problem!

Time will tell how I did with it. I do want to mention that I do have a bit of a strategy in this posting (if you happen to be reading this Joel!). If for some reason they take a look at some of my work they will hopefully arrive here. I don't really consider this blog a very good example of my work and I have mentioned it many times that it is only a scratch pad for writing and projects. This is why I didn't list it or mention it on my resume. But, if someone (namely Joel) does happen to come by, they will learn a little more about my background as a leader and strong communicator (along with other "power verbs").
