There are the big recruiting sites, the small recruiting sites, and an insane number of companies with their own resume submission and signup procedure--and I mean forms where you have to enter your resume in sections, not just upload the Word document.
Oh god yeah. Nightmarish.
I've also got to write my dissertation. And write 100 cover letters. (Well, I've got two basic forms, with one paragraph that I'm writing differently for each one.) I'm trying really hard to keep my stress level manageable.
I was looking at a recpie for Tarte a L'Oignon the other day and thinking "man this is a lot of work." Then I realized that store bought pie crust would take care of the first twelve steps or so. It's not cheating, it's conservation of time and energy.
The basic quiche recipe I use is an Alton Brown one, and he uses a frozen pie crust, so I have no qualms about doing the same.

Damn it. I think a panic attack is coming.

I need to get out my copy. I have both onions and goat cheese. And crusts in my freezer.
Deep breaths, Hil. I know it's hard to be talked out of freaking out, but you're fine. You're totally competent, and you can handle this.
My advisor told me that he's worried about me writing a dissertation because he doesn't think my writing is good enough. We were going over a rough draft of something I'd written. He pointed at a word and said it was the wrong word to use there. I looked at it and agreed that it was the wrong word. I came up with a way to rephrase the sentence. I wanted to get on to the actual content of the paper. The content is the hard part that I want help on. Once I've gotten all the ideas I need onto the paper, I can go back and edit the way I wrote it. That's the easy part. But I ask for content help, and he tells me that he doesn't understand why I can't see that what I've written is written badly. Or, I even specifically ask "I don't think this is phrased well, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it -- do you have any suggestions?" And he replies by telling me that it's phrased badly.
