Behavior and conduct are the best elements of a resume

A well-known large company published a job advertisement in the media, seeking an office clerk. On the day of the recruitment, about 100 people came to apply after hearing about it. One after another, the candidates who were summoned by the head of human resources went there, some carrying thick resumes, others holding stacks of certificates, and some even bringing referral letters from friends of senior company executives. However, the general manager gave a cursory glance at the applicants who came; after each person left, he would shake his head at the head of human resources. While the general manager was feeling disappointed, an unremarkable-looking but neatly dressed boy was summoned by the head of human resources. The boy walked to the door of the general manager’s office, knocked politely three times, and when a voice from inside said, “Come in! ”He gently pushed the door open, stood there, carefully wiped the dirt off his feet, and then entered before closing the door behind him. Without approaching the general manager’s desk, the boy noticed a book on the floor and naturally picked it up to place it on the desk. The general manager had a brief conversation with the boy. At that moment, someone knocked on the door, saying they were looking for the general manager. When the door opened, an elderly person with disabilities staggered in. The boy quickly got up to assist the old man and offered him his seat. Everything the boy does is natural; what he shows to others is kindness and thoughtfulness. When the boy left the office and the head of human resources came in to ask the general manager for permission to call the next person, the general manager smiled, nodded at him, and said, “It’s the boy from just now whom I’ve hired!” ”The Human Resources Minister asked in astonishment, “That boy just now?” He didn’t have a single certificate, nor was he recommended by anyone; he didn’t even have a basic resume. ” “You’re wrong,” the general manager said to the head of human resources. “In fact, he brought a highly detailed resume, and it’s the best among all those resumes! A boy’s words and actions are his best resume; knocking on the door three times shows that he knows how to be polite and handles things carefully ； He wiped the dirt off his shoes at the door, showing that he pays attention to details ； When he saw the disabled elderly person, whom I had arranged for to come in, he immediately stepped forward to assist him, offered his seat and made tea, showing that he was kind, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. While everyone else stepped over the book I had deliberately placed on the floor, the boy bent down to pick it up and put it back on the table, his movements being so natural and calm. He communicated with me up close; his answers were straightforward and decisive. His hair was neatly combed, and his nails were clean… Don’t you think these details constitute the best ‘resume’ for a boy? I think his words and actions are his best resume! ”The Human Resources Minister smiled wholeheartedly. Comment: Many times, we don’t lose because of our education or talent, but due to the details in our words and actions.
