Day Forty-Nine

Spent most of the day at the career transition seminar. Actually, it's been fairly helpful so far. I've learned how to completely overhaul my resume by identifying the stuff that's most interesting to employers--and more importantly, I've learned never to unbutton my pants during an interview, no matter how hot and stuffy the room is. I'll have Wednesday off, but when I go back on Thursday I'm supposed to have my "positioning statement" ready. The "positioning statement" is what I'm supposed to regurgitate when an interviewer asks me to tell them about myself. It's supposed to be in the form of:

I am a __________ with expertise in ___________. My strengths include ____________. Particular acomplishments or distinctions relevant to the position are ____________. I have worked for/with _______________.

The whole manual is filled with stuff like this. I think there's some serious Mad Libs potential here.
