Blessed Resumes?

A resume is a document an applicant submits to an employer indicating what knowledge, skills and experience the applicant has. Creating a resume and submitting a resume are the first steps to landing a job.

But as times become harder and harder in the Philippines, looking for a job seems to be a very difficult ordeal. The solution? Seek the aid of Divine Providence and have your resume blessed.

“We all know how difficult it is to find a job nowadays so I was thinking, maybe, if I pray here and have my re-sume blessed, it would help me land a job,” said a nursing graduate who went to a church in Katipunan, Quezon City.

Another church that resumes can be blessed is in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene or Quiapo. Job hunters with brown envelopes in Quiapo have already asked some priests to bless their resumes.

 “We all know how difficult it is to find a job nowadays so I was thinking, maybe, if I pray here and have my re-sume blessed, it would help me land a job,” she said.

“They have the right to ask blessings from God since based on our experience, many prayers are really being answered,” said Msgr. Clemente Ignacio, rector of Quiapo Church.

For some, having their resumes blessed has proved to be effective. But Msgr. Ignacio reminded them not to feel bad if they don’t get the answer they want.

 “All prayers are answered, but it depends on how God would answer our prayers because sometimes He has a better plan for us,” said Ignacio.

Legazpi City Bishop Joel Baylon, chairman of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Com-mission on Youth (CBCP-ECY) reminded the applicants not to rely everything on prayer but also to work on improving themselves.

“It’s okay to ask for help, but the individual should also exert an effort because it is not something that is automatically given to us,” he added.

At least 431, 592 college students are expected to graduate this school year, according to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
