A Story With Context
Listing your accomplishments as narration is only half the work done. We need to expand our profile and let our personality shine by giving context to our story, the three elements that flesh out the narrative: Setting, characters and conflict.
The Three Basic Elements Of Your Story:
- The setting is the place where the events of your story happened.
- The characters are the people in your story, like your family, your team, your client, or your boss.
- The conflict is the crucial problem of your story that spurred you into action.

Storytelling: The Right Approach
The narrative should have a big idea in the beginning, followed by the conflict and the characters who are impacted. One can then describe the setting and add more characters. After fleshing out the conflict and creating suspense, one can end the story with a resolution.

Storytelling: Avoiding Jargon
Do not sprinkle your resume with jargon and buzzwords, as it does not convey any story, but only feels like hollow boasting to the person screening your profile.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
