Fit CV

---

The idea of Fit CV was first coined by David Atkinson in his business course inside the Holochain community. I then rewrote my traditional CV to a Fit CV.
I belive, it really does not matter that I know Holochain, JavaScript, RUST or any other programming languages or tools, they are all achievable through a few video courses and books.
What matters is that I take the time to explore my soul, to understand myself better and finally - find my Fits.

I invite you to join this culture by writing your Fit CV and show your insights first and your skills next.

Thank you David,

The survival of the Fit

---

I once interpreted ‘the survival of the fit’ using ‘fit’ as an adjective that describes the kind of life that survives: strong animals, well-camouflaged animals, or intelligent animals. Now I think of ‘fit’ as a noun.
The survival of the Fit. Both you & your work and the work environment might change but the Fit between them will survive.
When I first started watching animals my standard question was ‘What is the name of that animal?’ …
Many years later my standard question has shifted to ‘What is this animal doing?’ …
Searching for the answer leads into other questions, such as ‘How does this behavior fit?” ….
Focusing on names deflects from the moment, whereas watching for the Fit probes the moment’.

Job vs Work

---

• Job: The word ‘Job’ is recent; it dates only from the Industrial Revolution. It was initially defined as a ‘pile of things to be done’, or even more precisely ‘something done for hire, with a view for monetary profit.’
• Work, in contrast, is a very old word. Its first appearance in English dates from the Aelfric Homllies (11th century): ‘That work was begun under God’s will.
  It still has that connotation. when referring to a ‘work of Love’, a ‘work of Art’, a ‘work of Mercy’.

Many signs point to the idea that a ‘job’ for everybody, which became prevalent only during the Industrial Age, may be dying with that age. A lucky minority has jobs which are also their work. Successful artists always combined the two. Similarly, the real geniuses in any field – whether it is in business or healing, the military, education, academics or politics – always ‘followed their bliss’, as Joseph Campbell put it so eloquently. However, these cases still remain exceptions to the rule. Would you continue doing what you are doing if you had all the money you would ever need? If the answer is yes, you are among the fortunate ones whose work and job coincide. What is the percentage of people you know who would continue their job, if they didn’t need the money? Anything that may help people enjoy what they are doing should be welcome.

As a Chinese proverb puts it:
If a person has joy in what he does There will be harmony in the work
If there is harmony in the work There will be order in the nation
If there is order in the nation There will be peace in the world.
