Calls have been made to all three Accountemps branches near me.

Now to write cover letters and tweak my resume for three possible job leads I gathered over the weekend.

Motivation~ma would be very welcome, as would any volunteers to look at the resume and/or cover letters.

Sounds like a good reason to have a bubblebath, Nora.

Sadly, that is not an option at work...

Which is, frankly, bullshit. Starts making signs for 'Workplace Bubble Bath" campaign.

Today I absolutely must finish the stinky schedule for the stinky sale, bring it into the stinky store, finish my cover letter for a new, less stinky job, send it in with my shiny resume, clean the entire house, then weed out some various clothes, cd, dvds, etc. that I can sell.

Lilty, let me know if you need a beta reader for your cover letters and resume.

Tacklehugs Anne.

I may take you up on the letter. I'm thinking out of trying out an experimental technique where I find a professional, well-phrased way of saying "Look, I know that my current job in retail is as different as can be from this position, but it HAS given me a, b, and c, and I know that I can do this."

If I can help you out, let me know, too.

ETA: Gah. I hate getting started on cover letters. Once I get going, I'm fine. But every way I think of starting that second paragraph sounds stoopid.

Sounds good, Lilty. Feel free to send stuff to my profile addy when ready. I know what you mean about experimental, since I'm trying very much that approach in applying for an admin job at a local school district.

I'll definitely let you know if I need help.

Yay for askye movage! Yay pictures!

{{Lilty}} Just because I haven't hugged you in a while, I don't think.

I'd help with the resumes and cover letters, but, honestly, I have no skill with that sort of thing.

(((-t))) Just because.

I really want this in the hiring manager's email box today- I figure if he's a hiring manager like me, he just got back from a long weekend and is feeling all panicky and wanting to get stuff done. My big hurdle is getting in the door for an interview, I think. (Not that I've been so fantasically successful as to say I interview well, but I don't look great on paper right now.)

Look at it as a persuasive essay - why You Should Hire (or at least interview) Lilty. Get the persuasive parts down, and then business it up, if necessary.

Persuasive. Persuasive. That doesn't look like a real word.

That's because it's composed entirely of tartlets.
