Actually if I have to redo my damn resume one more time I'm going to cry.

I'm not joking. I can't get it right no matter what I do there's always one mistake that I see that I try to fix and somehow that leads to two more mistakes. I had to redo parts of it this mrnign before the interview because I caught a typo.

But not the glaring error.

And every time I feel like an idiot because I can't get it right. If it's not a content issue it's some dumb thing like bullet points.

Does anyone know of a resume service where I can just give them the raw data and have them make the resume? At this point I'll pay pretty much anything because I just can't keep doing this. I spent 15 minutes this morning just trying to get 3 bullet points to work.

I ened up feeling so useless and foolish because I can't seem to do this.

I'm way more upset than I thought, I'm going to put this away for right now and come back to it in hour. I hve to get the application turned in by 4:30.

Yay askye!

Also in job news...I got the job I interviewed for on Friday. Not only did I not disappoint my friends (the both of them called, emailed-I'm sure they would have sent a carrier pigeon had they had one this morning to let me know), but they chose me over another candidate who could start immediately. Yay, happy and proud!

Soon, anxiety about giving short notice and being competent at new job.

But for now coffee and self-satisfaction!

You are stressing out about this disproportionately.

I'm not scolding you, just pointing this out. You are beating yourself up over formatting weirdness?

We can look at it tomorrow if you'd like. Just put it down for now though.

This sounds like a really good idea. Maybe get some tea and take some deep breaths?

Hah Askye! Look at all the self-aware from you!

You go girl.

{{askye}} also, What Trudy Said.

!!!Daisy Jane!!!

You can send it to me, askye. I am the queen of formatting.

they're not proofing the thing, they're just getting the information in one place

if you end up hired, tell them you found a typo on your resume and you don't want their records to be inaccurate so you're giving them a new one. its not like you've got something deceptive on there to make yourself look better

This. I caught a few things on mine Friday when I was walking the woman through it. I don't think she even noticed. Set it aside and breathe for a bit.

You deserve a good, rewarding job.

If it helps at all, I'm pretty sure that I had a glaring typo in my cover letter for my current job... as an editor.
