**LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK** PLEASE**
OK... so I am in my last quarter before I graduate and receive my Associate Degree. I have a class that helps prepare your portfolio, and prepares you for interviewing and being more professional... etc.
I am excited to be taking steps past the dead end jobs and all that, but I seem to be at this same place in which I always feel when it comes to "professionalism" and again I feel... I guess stuck would be a good term... more like at odds because I feel like becoming more professional means compromising myself. I'm told that potential employers not only look at your Resume and portfolio(both physical and online), but also look online to find things about you like social networks like Myspace and Facebook and the like. And if you have anything they find "abnormal" it could cost you that potential job!!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?! So now I'm supposed to stifle my social online life because I might be judged and given a label according to my sense of humor or the way I dress or the color of my hair that day the picture was taken?!?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT... how the hell do I get to be me, and find a "GOOD JOB" both at the same time?!?! By toning down myself and in a way "hiding" the way I live my life or how I act or even my sense of humor(which is a giant part of me and who I am if you know me) I feel that is killing my creativity, and in turn going to end my job anyways.. or at the least making me look mediocre!! AND I AM NOT A MEDIOCRE PERSON!! Even by talking to me online you would know that! In fact I have a great distaste for mediocrity in general.
I guess I'm just saying that I am now feeling like I wasted my time going to school, and even furthering myself into a Bachelor's Degree, if I have to start acting like the sheep that walk around every day acting one certain way dressing to impress the people around them. I can carry a great level of professionalism and talk with the best of them... but to change the way I live and look, and what I do for recreation just to "fit in" well that is the problem.... I don't "fit in".... I'm just ME... and when I'm on my game... the group comes to me... and wants to hang.... not the opposite!!
Since you just read my little bitch session... I must ask... AM I WRONG?! And.... YES or NO.... WHY?!?! Now If I am justified.... how do I go about pursuing that "good job" without compromising myself?!?! I think, if I would be able to get understood anywhere it would be here, and I would REALLY appreciate some responses whether you know me or not! I am open to criticism so don't be apprehensive about telling me I'm wrong if I am. And send people here to give feedback, cuz I'm really, really stuck and looking for some advice and/or opinions! Thanks for your time!
