You have to take care of yourself, Gud. If you don't take proper care of yourself you can't help anyone else.

Applying for jobs is THE WORST. I am trying to do the best I can and so am reading thoroughly each job description that I find appropriate/interesting, then tailoring my resume. Then entering it into a spreadsheet once applied so I can track who when and where I applied.

Yeah, I never like job hunting even when I just let recruiters take care of most of it.

I don't know if it's helpful or not but this was my last resume after making changes recruiters suggested. Got a bit distorted turning into an image, but it's still readable. Not that I claim to have the best resume layout ever, but it did get worked over by people in the biz.

I wish I was as organized as you, msbelle. I sent out a bunch of resumes but didn't make good notes about who & when, so now when I look at the job listings I'm getting I have to wonder if it sounds familiar just because I've heard the name, or did I already apply or...?

I used a Kanban board to keep track of things during the last couple of job hunts.

Epic - I have never done a spreadsheet before and only doing so now because I had those issues before AND I am super scatterbrained at the moment.

I always just save the cover letter with the company name in my file name and call it a day, but also it's been a long time since I did a wide search.

It was cold enough to break out the fall wardrobe. I love my summer dresses and skirts, but I feel more Me in jeans.

Also? I HATE A COVER LETTER. They make me want to just spam resume only submissions.
