Professional Storytelling II: Resumes & Portfolios

Intermission Reflections:

  1. The top industries I am interested in pursuing right now are:
  • Science/Sustainable Technology
  • Education
  • Performing Arts
  • Bio-Conservation
  1. These industries align with my values in terms of:
  • Wanting to help heal human's relationships with the Planet, and with each other.
  • Wanting to help people on their path of growth and expansion.
  • Wanting to support human expression through the performing arts.
  1. How does my LinkedIn reflect my values?
  • I briefly mention some of this in my summary, but this could be made much more explicit. I think that a little section devoted to interests and passions, or weaving these things into my summary would make a big difference.

Vision statement revisited

I want to work for an organization that I care about. I want to look at my calendar and get excited about going to work. I want to have co-workers that I enjoy, as people, as workers & colleagues, and ideally as friends. I want to have co-workers that are also there because they care about the job.

I want to work somewhere that really values the craft of writing software, where people are happy to do it and are passionate about it, and genuinely want to help others get better at the craft.

I want to work for a company that values the lives of all humans without hierarchy & descrimination. I want to work somewhere that promotes diversity all across the board in the workplace, and who works hard to establish a norm of equity in the world.

I want to build things that are tools, as well as things that are experiences, as well as things that are just places to be and things to see. I want to build things that help people connect in meaningful and efficient ways, as humans, and professionals/artists/experts/learners/scientists/experimentors/researchers.

I want to help find solutions, provide better options, simplify the amount of mental overhead needed to do important tasks, so people can focus on the things that really matter. category: { technology, 'tools', _programs_ }

I want to accomplish things that help people learn, and encourage growth and personal development, either through the development of a new skill or enhancement of an old one. category: { education }

I want to help ensure that credible and unbiased information sources are available to the general public. category: { local-journalism, community-organization }

O.G. Vison Statement:

I think that my goal/purpose on this planet is to utilize my strengths to work towards causes that support the betterment of humans towards humans, and the betterment of humans towards the planet. This comes through constantly learning, teaching to help others learn, sharing and enjoying each other’s individualities and interests, and helping to support others by providing resources where I am able. I care deeply about sharing art and expression, and giving other’s space to feel that their art and expression is valued. I am interested in using my mind to help solve important problems, evolve technologies/science, and care for the planet and its people.

I want to achieve a career that supports me in a solid and reliable way financially, and allows me the opportunity to pursue a life of artistic creation, travel, and growth while utilizing my potential towards creating solutions that can help heal the planet and its inhabitants. I hope to create a career path that allows me flixibility in time, and location, and ideally a career that involves travel both nationally and internationally. I want a career that involves a diverse and inclusive workplace/group of humans, and works hard to promote equity and equality for all people. I want a career that I would freely choose to give my time and energy to, and that also supports and ecourages that I devote time to my own well being, and to my family and loved ones. I want a career that does not trap me inside of a computer, and rather lets me use these skills/tools to access more of the real world than I could without them.

I want to work for an organization who recognizes what I have to offer, supports my lifestyle and personal time, and gives me respect and agency in my position. An organization that I relate to personally and I believe in their intentions and cause.

I want to work with people who are reliable/dependable, and flexible/patient/understanding. People who are genuine, and compassionate, and fun. People who set healthy boundaries and encourage others to do the same. People who are weirdos. People who want to help lift eachother up, and recognise and utilize each other’s areas of specialty. People who are present with eachother, and who care to develop nuturing relationships with others.

In my work, I want to be able to deliver exactly what the client/user is asking for, and to be able to offer improved solutions, products, ways of doing things that the user may not have thought of. To be able to be empathetic and create things that only enhance a user’s experience and not hinder it in any way. To be equitable in design and access and purpose, to offer something that helps people and does so in a way that does not marginalize others. To be inventive, and explore new ways of accomplishing things.

I want to make an impact in/serve the following industries throughout my career:

Bio-conservation Science/technology Performing Arts Space Exploration Mental Health Community Organization/Engagement (is that an industry?) Education

Values that drive my Job Search:

  • Compassionate human interaction
  • non-elitism
  • How can I help improve the state of the world?
  • How can I support the mission of sustainability/renewable resources?
  • How can I help us as humans move away from an antiquated and toxic form of government, towards something that actually supports the future of the human species?
  • How can I help de-center capitolism?
  • How can I help humans recognize the importance of taking care of our planet, and each other in a way that isn't centered around wealth/ownership?
