Christian Perfect Resume: How to Beat the Obama Unemployment Scourge
For unemployed Christians watching the SOTU address, the mocking tone and beady gaze of the Commander and Chief and liberal messiah as he talked about WTF solutions to unemployment in the United States of America was a cold reminder of the second place citizen status of Christians in Obama’s America. Many of Obama’s solutions were clearly anti-Christian biased to benefit the liberal elite with their science degrees and liberal leanings , not real Americans with Christian educations and Christian family values.
Jobs are the Real Issue
We need to heed the message of Michelle Bachmann and look over our shoulder to our better angels for answers to our country’s unemployment issues. Each of us can do our part by applying and successfully obtaining jobs with the same evangelical fervor we praise and grow in Christ.
For those just beginning a job search, click HERE for some great information on getting started and a list of tools you will need to work on a resume, such as: computer with a word processing program, paper, and a printer. Here’s a couple of great summary examples to jump start your process:
“Born-again fundamental Christian, BS Accounting, MBA, CMA with 15 years experience in plastics and creationist injection molding manufacturing budgets and periodic analysis using SAP, Oracle, and Hyperion data systems in the corporate reporting environment.”
“Second-chance, born-again Evangelical Christian; 25 years involvement in Human Resources for 150+ employee logistics concern, experienced in successfully staffing for 100% on time delivery with an illegals free workforce.”
Once a solid foundation for the resume is developed, analysis of your resume and some prudent tweaking will elevate your application to the top of the pile for interviews. Here is a list of ten check points to consider before sending your resume to prospective employers and some key questions for the interview process.
- Remember God is in the Details. Pray before you begin to analyze your resume. Ask God to aid you in presenting an honest reflection your Christian self.
- Christianity loves sinners – Witness to prospective employers how you were cured of Alcoholism, Drug Addiction or Homosexuality through the healing of Jesus. You can provide a brief 2-3 page summary with your resume and cover letter or if your story is compelling, introduce yourself to prospective employers with your witness story.
- Use Social Networking to your advantage. Note your FaceBook status on the cover letter and keep your pictures updated to document your involvement in church groups, protests and red-white- and blue heartfelt love for America.
- Make sure your references reflect your Christian identity. Sadly, we are judged on the company we keep. Stay current with your references and ensure you are not harboring enemies in your mist. One closeted homosexual on your reference list could mean the difference between employment and your wife becoming a prostitute.
- Include Bible quotes on your resume and bring your Bible, with Post Its referencing your favorite passages, to the interview.
- Your voting record does matter! Incorporate your political affiliations into your resume to show how you support American business and American Christian values with your participation and note how Obama is making the last decade the best decade for America.
- During the interview, ask questions about the company’s culture. Are a lot of foreign-born employees working behind the scenes? Be sure to point out that aside from dietary constraints in the snack room offerings (Muslims won’t eat fried pork rinds), Christians don’t require breaks five times a day for prayer. If you are fortunate enough to be invited on a tour of the facility and observe a lot of blacks lolling around, make a light joke about how that seems to be the norm with that group with a witty notation of something you read on American Thinker . Keep your comments positive and conversational, remember this is an interview.
- When interviewing with someone who may or may not be Christian, ASK! If they answer yes, you can feel confident in beginning the interview with a prayer of thanksgiving and praise. If they answer no, inquire if they will join you in a prayer for their salvation from a life ending in eternal damnation.
- Keep in mind that not all businesses are Christian friendly. While according to the LAW an employer cannot discriminate on the basis of religious affiliation or belief, some business do. Follow up on job opportunities that you were perfectly suited for and not awarded the position. Keep good notes during the application and interview process and follow up with legal action if you feel you are the victim of Christian discrimination .
- Enjoy this day the Lord has made! Don’t get discouraged when you don’t get a position. Christ’s plan for you may not be evident to you, but He will keep you safe.
Enjoy the fellowship of like minded Christians and post your resumes in the comments section. For it is said:
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.
- Matthew 18:20

“Christianity loves sinners.”
Something the people on this site would do well to remember.
Are they Christian, or just hate-mongers who make their mongering troll-fodder?

Actually, this is an interesting issue that challenges many in the faith community. A faithful congregant who has been observant all her life may get less attention from preachers and fellow church goers than a new arrival who is repenting for a life of sin.
This is the age old question: Is it better to sin and repent or not sin at all?

I think we saw a glimpse of this with our beloved President Bush. Our leader’s witnessing is one of great faith and redemption, unlike our current leadership.
The duplicity of meaning in the term “Christian Discrimination” is evident where we expect our leaders to be of a certain faith and allow our scientist to be discriminated against for believing in the facts of creationism. This duplicity is also illustrated by how individuals may interpret the article above, based on the internal dichotomy of fact and belief. Duplicity in meaning is also complicated by perceptions of the author’s intent, contextual presentation and if any “safe words” are available – such as “parody” or “satire”.
The regulations offer little protection and are effective only after a suit is filed and meager settlements are the result. Here are a couple of stories that illustrate:

An example from Kentucky:

Had these folks used the tips above, they wouldn’t be unemployed. Had these folks used the tips above, would they gotten the job? Duplicity of meaning and the regulations vs. reality is intriguing.

BB,
No one makes the internets a better place than you. As a white male I still have a job thanks to the last administration, but who knows what the future holds, so I will print and keep your article. As head of a small staff I will also use the information here in reverse to try to identify non-believers and potential slackers in my own hiring process. If only I had this information last year before I hired that guy to wash my windows.
Thanks for your teachings and time.

Thank you MEAwesome, you are always too kind.
I compiled this list from real life experiences. I have been asked to pray during an interview. I’ve been casually questioned as to my voting preferences and strongly encouraged to vote a certain way based on faith. I’ve been introduced to a job candidate with their witness story. I’ve been in management staff meetings where one manager would read the Bible, rather than participate in the budgeting process.
This is a summary of the tips that I’ve seen that were apparently successful against Christian discrimination. These business were not small Mom and Pop concerns, they are multi-national and publicly traded companies – albeit not the corporate headquarters – that is a whole different can of worms.
I personally have always been more introverted regarding my faith. With so much being said about Christianity being under attack, I thought I would share some of the more successful strategies I’ve observed to combat it.
Kind regards,
BB

It’s scientifically proven that when God takes away one gift he usually enhances another or grants a new one. This is often seen with blind people who have excellent hearing or women drivers who can text while driving. It’s obvious that God has replaced the Millennium’s ability to reason, type and communicate at a basic animal level with the gift of knowing where people are employed through the internets. Praise be to the almighty.

It’s fascinating how much we communicate about ourselves through our written words. In a simple line on your resume, you could be telling a potential employer that you’re grounded in faith and community, or that you’re out most nights at nightclubs. I know companies always try to read between the lines– how smart to create a guide that prepares Christians for that. Wow Blanche, you really have done something beautiful today.
I especially liked #4, “Make sure your references reflect your Christian identity. Sadly, we are judged on the company we keep. Stay current with your references and ensure you are not harboring enemies in your mist. One closeted homosexual on your reference list could mean the difference between employment and your wife becoming a prostitute.”
I know regulations aren’t supposed to permit hiring based on religious background, but the truth is if you’re a Christian interviewing with another Christian, you’ve already gotten one foot in the door!

I hope you don’t mind if I share my testimony with you. On Monday I was laid off. I had worked for the same company for 32 years. Unfortunately our company’s factory where I was floor manager was being shut down due to new health care regulations and the after effects of the stimulus. My family was distraught. I could not sleep. It was the worst time of my life.
My wife put in a prayer request at our church through her women’s study group. The next day I had an interview and someone in our church also recommended I first look at this internets site. After careful reading and consideration I changed my resume to reflect my beliefs and Christian work ethic. Highlighting my years of service as a faithful servant of god. One who wouldn’t come in drunk, late or hit on my male coworkers in the break room. I was nervous, but rereading your article gave me peace and hope.
This morning I awoke early to pray, fast, and get showered up nice for my interview. Headed out the door my daughter stapled one of the bible tracts she gives out at school to my resume cover letter. I smiled and thanked her as I got in my car. When I arrived at the interview it turns out “Surprise” the person who recommended me review this site was in the interview group. Needless to say they loved the track and before the end of it we did an impromptu prayer circle. I left feeling really good about myself.
When I got home there was a phone message waiting for me. They did not offer me the job. However they offered me a management position three floors up from the one I didn’t get and the “possible homosexual” person I replace will be bumped down to the job I interviewed for. So now because of this site my salary will be 180K a year almost a 30% increase over what I made last week, I get a company car, 2 weeks at the company condo in Sandpoint Idaho, and a corner office where I can see our church from.
Thank you to chrisTwire, this author and to Him.

I boggles my mind that the Supreme Court can uphold the discrimination of one group of people towards another just because of some long ago distraction in American history. Affirmative action helps no one, and many blacks will even admit this. It makes them lazy, expecting handouts and free jobs. There was a time when Republicans were trying to repeal it, but now no one talks about it anymore. Sad how our priorities get shuffled under the rug.

Nor does sexism.
But anyway.
If you’d bother to do your history homework, you’d learn that affirmative action was originally instated to force employers and schools to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and to help allow minorities and women (as of 1967) acquire better jobs, housing, and education. It was intended to PREVENT discrimination based on one’s colour, religion, sex, or national origin.
But, hey. People should only hire white American Christian males, right? I mean, that’s what you continue to argue. Women should just graduate from high school, get married, and start birthing kids, if what you say is true. But only if they’re white. No one else matters.

You don’t get it, do you?
Affirmative action is sort of a tie-breaker. If person A is a woman/minority, and has the exact same skills and qualifications as person B (who is white/male), person A would be able to get the job.
Disabilities are NOT covered under affirmative action, you dunce. They are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which was signed into law by George H.W. Bush. The ADA prevents discrimination based on disabilities.
As for your little NBA analogy: the NBA hires players based on skills. You cannot discriminate against someone based on their abilities. That’s just ridiculous. As someone with a wheelchair-bound friend, I am appalled that you’d make that analogy, and I’m sure that she would be, too.

Ok, RD you do make sense. And I do appreciate your opinion. However, If I am just as qualified as a minority and I do better in the interview, Should the employer ever have to hire based on a quota?
And it never applies in reverse. What If I applied at an employer who already had 90% African Americans should they have to hire me?

I think the fact you have to go back to 1964 America to rationalize Affirmative action speaks for itself. We have a black president now. A rising Hispanic population makes much of what was considered the norm in 1964 is moot now.
There are cries from the left that conservatives want to return to the 1950′s, which is touted as a “bad thing.” But then the same left will use the societal norms of 1964 to justify discrimination of the proven economic performance of the white male.
It is an odd and endlessly fascinating spiral of logic the left uses to rationalize socialist doctrine.

Right. It’s not because of the fact that Obama was insanely popular at the start and everything McCain said was just digging himself deeper into the grave, and the fact that Affirmative Action doesn’t cover a position like that, considering how the elections amount to a popularity contest. Nope, it’s because he’s black, so he instantly wins.
