I'm so tired of perfectionism. Why is perfectionism expected when there are no perfect human beings?
I'm not at all perfect. Sometimes I miss a letter or a digit or a point when I write. You are aware of that if you read this blog. I often make small mistakes, but I try to correct them as soon as I see them. Unfortunately it also happens in my CV. That's so unnecessary. Why am I so careless? I take a stupid risk, by not reading things three times before I send it off. But I have never had any plans to start a career in surgery where I could risk people's lives.
They say they want creative people who are risktakers. But everyone should of course also be perfect and always systematic, planned and with 100% control of all details.
People say if you forget to turn off your mobile phone when you are in an interview and you get a call, you don't get the job. It happened to me. Twice. Don't know if that was the reason I didn't get the job. If that was the case, it must have been because I probably looked like I was going to kill the person who called. Twice.
