There are two objectives for you to achive for your audience (me).
|
|
1. demonstrate to me that you have read te text in question. Effective engagement with the text will include multiple direct or shelpful summaries of the text. . When in doubt, I recommend multiple, appropritate, and direct quotations per sources in your writing to clearly demonstrate that you critically reflected on the text. You should annotate as you read so that remembering the flow of argument and pulling effective quotations is not more difficult.
|
|
2. Demonstrate to me that you have reflected on the text and incorperated the text or a reaction to it into your reflective or active process of completing the assignment.

## Assignment
|
|
|
|
**Deep Work is Meaningful:**
|
|
|
|
In deep work is meaningful Cal Newport illustrates how spending time on deeper work makes it that we feel more fulfilled because of the fact that we are challenge. This is also the case in the resume because it allowes me to get the job that woud allow me to spend time doing deep work.
|
|
|
|
Newport also illustrates some important ideas when it comes to crafting a better resume. "Our brains instead construct our worldview based on what we pay attention to" (Newport 77) so if we instead work illustrating the most important and impactful information we want the person who is reading the resume to have in their minds it will help propel the applicant above others. So by making whatever is lucerative big and noticable it helps your chances.

**Everything is Spiritual**:
|
|
|
|
John Mark Comer touches on the connection between work and religion stating "Everything matters to God" (Comer 98). This can show how spending time on a resume can be part of God's plan to have everyone doing what they need to be doing in order to build as Comer states earlier in the book a "Garden City" or in simpler terms building eden on earth. By following this ideology we are able to have our work be meaningful to us as oru religous values, spending the same dedication to achiving a goal. But like in all good things this must also be dune in moderation or one will "over work and get burned out and unhealthy like everybody else" (Comer 103).

|
Working a secular job can be just like Jesus, who was a *tekton*, a secular worker, which is most people on the planet. If we follow in his footsteps and take our religious world and bring it to the work world and use all those teachings in there we will be following our religous purpose.
|
|
|
|
**Passion is Rare**:
|
|
|
|
"the key thing is to force yourself through the work, force the skills to come; that's the hardes phase" (Newport 12) this shows how renowned NPR radio host Ira Glass belives how job passion is created. As one progresses through their work they will come to find their work more fullfilling which is harder to estimate ahead of time. But putting those types of different experiences, like that one student from the glass blower, onto your resume can allow you to, not only get your job, but also to sit and reflect what all of your experience can add up to. To quote Newport "Compelling careers often have complex origins that reject the simple idea that all you have to do is follow your passion."
