All-round Achiever?

The oddest thoughts strike me when I am in the shower, and this time it was while pondering the many qualifications on my CV.
While I had busied myself with attaining scholarships, H1's, picked up various posts in the many organisations I join and squeezed in as much work experience as I possibly could, I thought about how much I had missed out in personal development - the string of failed relationships (well, i suppose it was development of a pick-yourself-up-and-you'll-be-stronger sort) and not as many drinking or mahjong sessions as the successful networking people are prone to.
But really... even though I am uni-smart, I think that other people deserve to put their own qualifications on CVs too..
Like if you are a really great boyfriend...
  • excellent dispute management
  • experienced driver, bodyguard, escort, guide
  • presentation skills (especially to authority figures e.g. parents)
  • time management
  • financial planning
  • dedication and patience
Maybe these are things that should be in the CVs of the future. You are selling yourself to the employer anyway, right? Why miss the important bits?
Oh well... i think i just have too much time on my hands. Random useless thought of the day!
