I still see people put "I want to help people" on their resumes

"Oh, I'm sorry, in this specific job you actually don't help other people, including the person you are working for. You are going to be paid to do nothing to help the sector of which you are being employed in".

Every interaction you have within a community involves reciprocated serving. It is bizarre seeing grown adults put that in their resume, thinking it means anything.

You don't work in healthcare do you?

@Thevy29 I work in the educational and healthcare industry. I currently run a St John Ambulance cadet unit, whilst teaching other subjects, completing college courses related to education, and a medical degree on the side.

Why do you ask?

@Therealsteve Stating 'you care' has always been important when applying for healthcare roles. I've known plenty of people in the industry who didn't. And they were a pain to work with.

@Thevy29 He seems like a pain to work with too. I read his conversation with Gangsteress about the LGBTQ+ , and he significantly lacks in communication skills. It seems like he is an internet dweller to me. And so irritatingly argumentative I don't even want to bother addressing him as an actual person.

@Thevy29 I don't even remember my original post specifying this being a care work role. Could you show me where in the OP I specified care work?

@Miram Not seeing people who disagree with you as "actual people" will be quite the obstacle in a proper interaction with them.
