For human beings become free from emotions [of fear] in two ways: either by not having been put to the test or by having the resources needed, just as in dangers at sea both those who are inexperienced with a storm and those with the resources of experience are confident” (2.5.18).A month ago one of my coworkers asked if I would come to his ward and give a class about resumes. I was fine with that.
Let fear be defined as a sort of pain or agitation derived from the imagination of a future destructive or painful evil; for all evils are not feared but only what has the potentially for great pains or destruction, and these ionly if they do not appear far-off but near, so that they are about to happen; for what is far off is not feared: because that is not near at hand they take no thought of it. (2.5.1)
Now I'm freaking out. Over the course of the month, I have gotten way too busy (and frustrated) with school and overwhelmed with work. Today I don't know if it is as much that I feel like I'll never be prepared as much as I should (I am definitely not an expert in this topic) or that I'm just stressed in general (I have six projects I have to get done at work before I leave today). And I haven't taught anything in a long, long time. Heck, I've never taught an entire class on resumes--I've only taught one-on-one. I'm giving a PowerPoint presentation intermixed with a few examples and exercises. We're going to talk about the importance of designing your resume with your audience (read: HR rep) in mind.
I've got 10 more hours to worry about it before it is over.
