Lilty, let me know if you need a beta reader for your cover letters and resume.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
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.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
(((-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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This is nice, billytea. I am glad you had a good weekend and that you and Bec still have that comfort level.
Yeah. It's really just amazing. And you know what? We worked hard for that, dammit. Unbelievably hard.

So, is it a bad sign when your wife doesn't get you anything for your birthday, not even a card?
