It’s not necessarily that she’s a woman. That isn’t helping
but that isn’t the sole reason for my hurt feelings. It’s because I sit here and offer my help and
you would rather take hers. Which is fine, if she has the appropriate
credentials. But I fail to see how
someone who is a therapist can truly advise business students in a way that is
beneficial to them with regard to their careers – something more than simply therapizing them because of the
their awful childhoods. I mean, it’s
like I am business professional. I have
been working for the last 13 years of my life in the corporate world. I have written resumes. For myself and for others. I have reviewed resumes for prospective
candidates. Nothing turns me off more than
a lack of attention to detail. Those
resumes don’t even get a second chance.
And yes, resumes are more preferential but here’s the thing, my
preferences have been developed from a decade and a half of dealing with
resumes. Of interviewing people for
positions. Of writing job
descriptions. But somehow that’s not enough –
for some reason the person sitting behind the desk in the advising office who
is one of the three most impactful people of your life, the one who was there
when no one else, is more qualified than I am?
So let me understand this. I’m
good enough to put your dick into but not to listen to? I don’t have whatever certificate she
bears? And for these reasons my advice
is not good enough for you. Apparently I
don’t count as a person in general, since I was THERE for you at the time you
began talking to her. So when no one
else was there, including the ever-present-but-somehow-absent me, she was. Can you even begin to understand how insulting
this is for me? Like what am I to? Nothing of true value. Just a fuck, I suppose. You don’t take me seriously. You don’t respect me; not my intelligence and
not my experience; all of which has been demonstrated tenfold but somehow she
has demonstrated her vast knowledge and expertise in the corporate world? I can tell… with all of the erroneous capitalization
and her over-use of semicolons… yeah I can definitely tell.
