Topic #2: What stands in between you and your dream job? Why do you deserve to work in a dream job environment? What do you bring to the table? Be specific.

I am now going out on a limb of fruitful honesty. As I mentioned in Topic #1 I am still searching for my Dream Job. Why haven’t I found it yet? What am I allowing to keep me from what I deserve? I regretfully answer, the most hated of all phrases I have within my vocabulary, “ I Don’t Know.” After The Art of Possibility and other books of its kind I am only left with the summation that I stand in my own way. So for me the question is not what stands in my way but how do I remove what stands in my way?
Everyone in life deserves to be happy, financially stable, and successful. I am forthright, assiduous, demanding to be heard because what I have to say and give is filled with kindness and truth of my being. I am not conceited, nor do I boast of my talents. For greater is the deed that can be done without having to seek an audience. I do for others because it is what I wish for myself. I deserve a dream job, a dream fulfilled, the good and bad of life because each has lessons for my growth,
I bring dedication, determination, the will to keep going and not give up, years of career experiences, and the ability to connect with a melting pot of colorful people from all walks of life. I bring a strong desire to help change for the better this world through the company and career I will obtain. I bring drive and persistence, the highest quality of professionalism, the patience of Job, the skill of de-escalating most customer /client /student /parent issues. I bring myself, and the desire to be given a chance.
