I know I should apply for this:

http://www.resourcehire.com/clients/WNYCRadio/publicjobs/controller.cfm?jbaction=JobProfile&Job_Id=10115&esid=az

but the process scares me. Which is LAME on my part.

I mean, I haven't had a non-acting resume in YEARS, and I realize this is no longer a matter of digging out an old corporate resume and updating. No, I have to create something new that speks both to my life as a performer and a writer and makes it all look like a cohesive, cogent plan, as opposed to jack-of-all-trades and totally weird.

Also, I'm not sure who to convey or frame my unique perspective. Certainly, some of that comes from the weird class experiences of my childhood, but there's also something else to be said, that I truly don't know how to frame about formal codes of behavior, courtesy and standards that don't have anythign to do with today's utterly repugnant "conservative" "values". I suppose it's called elitism. Now how do I make that appealing.

You think I am joking. I am not joking.

Also, am I smoking crack. Radio? With this voice? Hahahaahah.

Um. Yes. Apply.

Wow. Now that sounds like a fantastic opportunity. Who wouldn't want to interview a magical-fencing-economist?!

I actually used a resume writing service. My background is a bit odd too and I find it very hard to market myself. So I sucked it up, spent the money and now I have a resume that looks and reads much better than anything I could have done myself. I just don't have the distance to myself to be able to write about me. Something to try if you've got the money.

Good luck!
