Resume

My last nightmare!
A few months ago I decided it was time to start my job search. That was the first step, deciding, but what it comes next is not easy at all.
Doing a resume in your own language is complicated and boring, but writing it in a foreign language is a nightmare. It is not only the spelling or the vocabulary; it's also the grammar, format, and the cultural background.
One of the good things a bout being an immigrant is all the new international friends that you make who would always be willing to help you no matter what. Of course thats a very good advantage, although, it could get tricky if everyone has a different opinion about everything.
My first resume draft was a disaster, but step by step, and with lots of help it became something good enough to use for my search.
After several editions and thousands of corrections, I sent my first application. I was excited and proud of my hard work. The joy was short-lived. My Spanish friend wrote me back the next day to tell me: "Bea! You have a spelling mistake in your first sentence!"
