I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
hey guys, I just got the following email from the guy who was hiring for my dream job (TM) a couple months ago, and who passed me over at that time:
I am writing to let you know that we have decided to repost the Staff Associate position in the Office of XXXX. Our initial search proved unsuccessful; we continue to look for the right person for that role. At this time we are eager to see what kind of response the posting elicits. If we decide to revisit your candidacy, I will be in touch.
I have drafted this email:
Thank you for your email, [HR guy]. I remain very interested in the position and would love to have the opportunity to come in and talk with you about the skills I possess that I really do believe would benefit the Office of XXXX.
Please know, in response to your previous feedback, that I have been working on documentation, communication, and training of high level processes and have been looking for other opportunities to take on demonstrable and professional writing projects.
I do hope you decide to revisit my candidacy. Thank you again for the update, however, regardless of your decision to do so or not.
What do we think? I want to play my hand perfectly- I really really want to be considered for this job again!

Re: Southern speakers, I find I have trouble following any accent that's unfamiliar to me, and it helps if people speak slower. So maybe it's just that your accent is unfamiliar. I often wish people with strong Southern accents would speak more slowly so I could follow better.

Sounds good to me, Nora! I'm in the same boat myself. Unfortunately, the guy that loved me isn't in the hiring position this go 'round.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The email looks great to me Nora but if you're looking for people to pick nits
demonstrable and professional writing projects.
sounds awkward to me. I'm not sure what a "demonstrable writing project" is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am thinking something she can show a copy of? Or I'd suggest rewording.
That NowDoThis site is fantastic, smonster. At least it is for me Right Now because I am getting stuff done and now it's showing me something I don't want to do but can take care of in just a couple of minutes if I just ovary up.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Guess who just walked through half the office with the hem of her skirt tucked into the waistband of her panties??

Our wings are not tired.
At least there was panties.
