Faithfull and trustworthy

       Many of the C.V's we receive begin something like this:

  

• An effective and highly motivated individual with over ten years experience and dependable knowledge
• Has high personal standard of honesty and lives by organizational high standard. Personal life consistent with working life.
• A team player and a leader who thrives to play a pivotal role in organizational growth through a combination of excellence, teamwork, integrity and loyalty.
• Relationship builder and team player, with energy, drive and commitment;
     
  Wow who would'nt want to employ someone who has all of these attributes! Unfortunately many people just copy these attributes off someone else s  C.V. without even taking time to think about what they are really saying about themselves.  To them it's just a marketing tool, something to make their CV look good and help them clinch that desired job.
  
  
  Unfortunately there are employees who when they have clinched that job become the opposite of what they claimed to be on their C.V.   Suddenly they start getting to work fifteen minutes late or take longer lunch breaks than allocated and yet they stated that they were reliable.
  
  
  Some employees spend valuable work hours on Facebook, Skype, Twitter, or mobile phones having fun.  There is nothing wrong with these networking sites but there is a time and place for everything and work is not one of those places. On your C.V. you claimed that you are honest but later prove to be a thief by stealing this time from your employer.  Remember that time is money and spending time on networking sites is not on your job description.
  
  
  It would be interesting if interviewers could begin their interviews by asking the interviewee  questions like "You have said on your C.V. that you are trustworthy, hardworking, faithful, honest.  Could you please give us examples of incidences where you have demonstrated these attributes."  You will be surprised that all you get is a lot of stutters.
  
  
  One Pastor gave the definition of two words "Faithfulness" and "Trustworthiness" as follows:
  
  
  Faithfulness is  demonstrating loyalty by commitment and allegiance to those you serve both in good times and bad.  The opposite is unfaithfulness. 
  
  
  Trustworthiness is living your life in such a way that others cannot doubt your faithfulness.
  
  
  What i am trying to do is to get you to think  about the various words like effective,dependable,honest,team player,excellence,integrity,loyalty,commitment, trustworthy, faithful and other descriptive words like them and what they actually mean.  Do they describe you? Think about that before you write them down on your C.V and misrepresent yourself to your prospective employer.  If the words do not describe who you are at present then begin to work at developing those attributes you desire in your life.  You can become all these things and thereby become a more productive member of society and add value to the organisation you work for and build a good reputation for yourself.  One day if you ever start your own business these qualities would have already been instilled in you and you will start your business on a strong foundation.
  
  
  All the Best to you!
