Did you know that prospective employers or the HR department, or whoever exactly is in charge of uniting man with work--the most sacred of bonds--consistently read the personal profiles of job applicants? If you have read any major newspaper in the past few months, you would have learned this apparent newfound truth: The HR department is the only part of the office whose internet access is completely unfettered. As my most pressing current issue is the attainment of some form of sinecure, I believe this profile should serve to reinforce the already sterling impression that you, my prospective employer already hold.So it is true, as I have told you:1) My weakness is teamwork; I just can't get enough of it. Sometimes I wish all of my co-workers were garbed in a sporting style jersey with name, nickname and number to re-inforce this sense of teamwork. Sometimes I wonder if we might perform better as a work unit if we engaged in a huddle prior to starting a group project or at the very least periodically diagrammed group responses to typical work scenarios on a blackboard.unless this job requires a lot of independence...in that case2) I am highly Independent as a worker. My favorite holiday is independence day, but to show my own highly developed sense of idiosyncratic thinking, I celebrate it on a special day of my own choosing, based on a lunar calendar of my own devising. In many past positions I have often wondered whether I really even had a supervisor at all, so much latitude was I given. It is true when I told you that when I lived in colorado I hiked every 'fourteener' by myself, in the middle of January. That thing I told the other guy at the interview, about surviving the knife fight in Lesotho? It was absolutely true as well. And as billy joel once said, 'I walk(ed) through bedford-stuy alone' but that is something of a routine, since I kind of live there.or was this job in some sort of non-profit sphere...?3) My hobbies include caring about people. When I am not holding bake sales and raffles to raise money for historic preservation, I am working at a soup kitchen. I can speak mandarin and spanish so maybe I deserve some sort of entry level position knocking on doors in elmhurst and distributing questionaires, which by the way, is my other totally favorite hobby, handing out questionaires.
