Unusual

Is it better to follow the norm 

Or

Is it better to be yourself?

We may opt to follow the norm in order to be popular,

But is that always a good idea?

We have to make our own personality that can stand up in tough times.

From time to time I get to go to employment workshops with Wounded Warrior Project. When people see my resume online with military service and a master’s they are excited.

But the excitement seems to intensified when they see me. Many of these recruiters had not seen my resume before

So when I said I was an MP

And I have a master’s in Forensic Accounting they all seemed to be very surprised.

You just don’t usually see that.

Add to that I am disabled which can be very helpful for employees including tax breaks.

So being different is a good thing.

Are you being different or following the norm?
