Hmmm.
Recruiter told me to go ahead and apply for jobs at two of the companies I've been looking at on my own, because he was getting nowhere with them, and they had jobs posted. But one of them, the more I look at it, the more I'm worried they won't consider me for it (I have the years and the experience, but not the titles you'd expect leading up to this one). Grrr. And it's the company I really want. Wish there was a way to apply and say "dudes! if you dont' want me for this job, I'm really OK with a lower title, you shoudl just hire me anyway!!"
Better than Def Leppard's "Armageddon It"
Great. Now I'm going to kill you. Replace a power ballad with a heavy metal anthem and you still get the earworm from hell. You are so in for it....
meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?
Theoretically I have plans tomorrow night with people including my friend who just got back from a year in Israel, but no one seems to be motivating to actually, you know, MAKE THE PLANS.
So far this weekend, I've gone to the movies and bought an odd assortment of groceries that I think looked like what I would buy were I a pregnant vegetarian. Heavy on the dairy.
Relatedly, what gap is this photo referring to?
Yeah, seriously. Seriously?!?
My brilliant idea of the day....wait for it.....Office Space: The Musical!!
That IS brilliant! Did I mention here when I mentioned Office Space in a meeting with four other people, and not one of them had ever seen it? What the fuck is up with that? Granted, they were all a generation older than me, but still. I would have expected at least one of them to know it.
Who wants onboard as a producer so I can quit my day job and start putting this together?
You know, I invested in a play once before, and that didn't work out. OK, it was $100, and some of the people now have a show in the Fringe Festival here, but still. I've been burned before!
Holy crap. Someone was just found mauled to death on the lawn of Ving Rhames' house. They've taken his four mastiffs into custody.
Jesus. That's not cool.
meara, apply anyway. Just make sure you explain what you did in previous jobs that give you the experience for this one.
I hate sending mass emails on a summer Friday. I always get 20 out of office replies and I DON'T CARE PEOPLE.
Who's number one in Computers and Internet???

Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
OH! The LI IKEA is in a Mall with a movie theater and it is showing BU! Now if the parents' will take mac to Ratathoweveryouspellit.
meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?
Yeah, I may try. And I'll try to explain (like ChiKat says) that working at a small company, I have more experience than my title warrants. But not sure how to say "if you don't like me for this, any chance you'd want to create a lower position just for me pretty please?" I don't want to start out with "I'm looking for a Senior (MyJob) position, or a (MyJob) Manager position", and make it sound like I didn't even read their posting...urgh.
Have I mentioned I hate job hunting??
And this shit is the sorta thing the recruiter is SUPPOSED to do, but he said no one there is calling him back. Sigh.
Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
Dude, your first book is appearing on various good-selling lists. I'd be taking out ads in Variety yelling "So there!" in 50-point type.
