Bulletproof, nothing to lose

You’re all singing that Sia song, aren’t you? If that’s painful, by all means start humming the latest Justin Bieber tune.

Why am I talking about bullets? Last week, I sat on the couch and applied for jobs. I know, I’m supposed to be in my organized office wearing work clothes and shoes, but bear with me. As I crafted my cover letters, I opted to use bullet points to highlight the experiences that matched the job requirements. Three of those companies have responded. Now, nobody is knocking at my door with a contract and a pen, but maybe the wheel is slowly starting to turn. Maybe employers like bullet points. Maybe these are the magic bullets I’ve been looking for. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence. 

Brainstorm with me. Check out the list of values below. If you were asked which resonates with you and why, what would be your answer? I’ve been asked to do the same, and I’m interested in what others might say:

• Inclusivity

• Curiosity

• Community

• Creativity

• Partnership

If you have a moment, please drop me a note with your personal thoughts on which value plays an important role in your life. I value your input, and I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
